    Can anyone tell me what this plant is? I have it in my garden and it is lovely, just can't find them in any books. They are very delicate looking and have a very soft feathery feel. At first I thought it might by a type of Euphorbia, but not sure. They change color during the spring and fall, with high lites of burgundy. Tranplants easily and grows quickly. Any ideas?

    Yes, it is an Euphorbia. Many species and named cultivars. Not sure of exactly which one yours may be.
    Be very careful of the milky sap it can cause problems, see....

    But beware that the white sap is caustic and can cause serious skin burns!
