    Hilo shrub

    I think it is Euphorbia leucocephala, common name
    Christmas bush.

    Might make a good contrast with Euphorbia pulcherrima .

    Thanks Ron. I just couldn't find it in my books. You might be right about it being called christmas bush. It is also called snow flake. Here in Hawaii we really get some big specimens. It is absolutely stunning. And yes it probably would look good paired up with E. pulcherrima. Thanxs again, aloha bob
