    I found this elegant weed under the bird feeder. It is probably either from bird food or from bird droppings. Looks nice, anyway. I want to save it. Anyone knows what is it?
    Thanks.

    Euphorbia dentata - this is the second Euphorbia birds bring me. The first was Euphorbia myrsinites which grows just a step from this new one. Not counting Euphorbia prostrata growing everywhere. Looks like birds adore spurges.
    Thanks, tipularia!

    Probably from somewhere else - Euphorbia seeds are toxic, I'd doubt that birds eat them much if at all.
