    I recently bought this little plant (now about 6" or 15 cm high) at a church sale and
    would love to know it's name and something about it. Thank you for helping!

    It looks like a very young Madagascar Jewel, Euphorbia leuconeura. I don't have any experience with this species, but provided it gets sufficiently bright light and is watered sparingly, it should thrive easily.

    Thank you so much! The plant looks identical to one of the pictures on the Google site for Madagascar Jewel.

    A few other posts about [SEARCH]Euphorbia leuconeura[/SEARCH] on these forums might be worth investigating.
