The following article appears on the Plant of the Month Archives page of the the Central Ohio Cactus and Succulent Society Website
While preparing this article, my research uncovered a few surprises on the identification this plant. I originally acquired my plant from Bill Hendricks in 2012; he identified it as Euphorbia nyassae. The first volume of the Euphorbia Journal illustrates a plant which is identified as Euphorbia nyassae, and which appears to be a dead ringer for my plant, but in the second volume of the Euphorbia Journal (Editors' Notes Volume 1) the identification of that plant was changed to Euphorbia eyassiana. Apparently, this clone was originally collected by P. R. O. Bally who sent it to the International Succulent Institute (ISI), which distributed this plant under the name of Euphorbia sp. aff. nyassae. Over time, the "sp. aff." portion of the name was dropped, and this clone was erroneously identified as "E. nyassae". The true Euphorbia nyassae is discussed and illustrated in the Euphorbia Journal (Volume 3, pages 48, 49), and while being similar to this plant, there are also significant differences. A brief discussion and several habitat photographs of Euphorbia eyassiana are included in Volume 8 of the Euphorbia Journal (pages 63, 64 and 65). The description and images of this plant convince me that my plant is this species rather than E. nyassae, so I have restored what I believe its original identification had been ("Euphorbia sp. aff. nyasse"), as well as its most likely identification as E. eyassiana.
Euphorbia eyassiana is one of a number of Euphorbia species from the Great Rift Valley which produces a mounds of thin, clustered, four angled, branching stems. This species distinguishes itself from a number of similar species by spreading from a rhizomateous rootstock, producing thickets which may spread to several feet or more in habitat. The branching stems are 4-angled, about the diameter of a pencil, and can grow to heights just under 3 feet (the plants which I have seen in cultivation are typically much shorter; frequently growing to about a foot or so in height). In lower light, the central portions of the stems are colored a pale green, with darker green stripes at the stem angles. In very bright light, or when the plant is heat or drought stressed, the stems tend to take on more reddish hues. 4 needle-like and spreading spines are produced on each spine shield. The uppermost spines are significantly shorter, and the lower pair are longer. The flowers (cyatheum) are minute - only about 2 millimeters across, and have orange to reddish colored glands
Euphorbia eyassiana originates from near the shores of Lake Eyasi in Tanzania, and into the adjacent region of the eastern Serengeti plains. Susan Carter Holmes relates that this plant, while fairly common throughout its range, has a rather narrow distribution. It is allied to a number of similar looking euphorbias (with slender, square stems, and bearing 4 spines per cluster) from the Great Rift Valley, including E. isacantha, E. tetracanthoides, and E. schinzii, but according to Susan Carter Holmes, it is actually only distantly related to Euphorbia nyassae.
This is a remarkably easy plant to grow and propagate. It responds extremely well to my general guidelines on growing cacti and other succulents, and does especially well when grown outdoors exposed to full sun and high summer temperatures. Given this treatment, and provided with relatively moist conditions during this growing season, and this plant will produce remarkable growth (the pictured plant shows only one year's growth, from a few small rhizomes and a tiny section of two stems). This species seems to be more widely grown in Europe where it has gained a reputation for being more tolerant of the European climate than other Euphorbia species from the Rift Valley. It is readily propagated from stem cuttings and sections of rhizomes; I suspect that it can readily be propagated from seed (it is a reliable bloomer, and I suspect that it is capable of producing viable seed when it is selfed).
I found out quite by accident that this species (or at least my clone of this plant) has remarkable cold tolerance. When moving my plants back indoors for their winter dormancy, my plant fell from my outdoor bench and spent the entire winter of 2012/2013 unprotected in my vegetable garden, where it was exposed to extended periods of sub freezing weather, and temperatures down to approximately 5 degrees Fahrenheit. While this plant took considerable damage from the cold, some of the roots and a portion of one or two of the stems managed to survive. While I would not promote this plant as a candidate for the winter hardy succulent garden here in Ohio, properly sited in a warm microclimate, and shielded from excessive winter moisture, this plant may prove to be root hardy to a zone 7. In spite of its extreme cold hardiness, I do not recommend that this plant should be subjected to sub-freezing temperatures, as the stem tips will invariably suffer from some degree of frost damage and subsequent die back.
In spite of its relative ease of culture, and rapid growth rate, this plant is not frequently known and grown - compared to several other species this plant has a rather coarse and common appearance, and many people feel it has a rather weedy look - its stems lack the beautiful blue green coloration of of E. greenwayi, and its spines do not have the colorful interest of E. aeruginosa. Still, this plant does have a few growers who maintain it in their collections, and it probably deserves to be more frequently grown. I will leave it to others to test it for its suitability in the garden, as I feel that it may prove to be hardy enough for zone 7 succulent gardens.
While this species is not new to cultivation, it is never common, and is seldom offered from the usual mail order nurseries under either of the two names I have given here (I have not succeeded in locating a grower who currently offers this species for sale). Thanks to the generosity of Bill Hendricks, I suspect that some members of the Midwest, Greater Pittsburgh, Michigan, and The Central Ohio Cactus and Succulent Societies may grow this clone. If my guess about the ultimate source of this plant is correct, the ISI may also continue to propagate this clone. Should there be any demand for additional plants of this clone, I'm sure that these could be propagated by a number of individuals.

We tend to celebrate light in our pictures. Understanding how light interacts with the camera is paramount to the work we do. The temperature, intensity and source of light can wield different photography effect on the same subject or scene; add ISO, aperture and speed, the camera, the lens type, focal length and filters…the combination is varied ad multi-layered and if you know how to use them all, you will come to appreciate that all lights are useful, even those surrounded by a lot of darkness.
We are guided by three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, our longing to capture in print, that which is beautiful, the constant search for the one picture, and constant barrage of new equipment and style of photography. These passions, like great winds, have blown us across the globe in search of the one and we do understand the one we do look for might be this picture right here for someone else out there.
“A concise poem about our work as stated elow
A place without being
a thought without thinking
creatively, two dimensions
suspended animation
possibly a perfect imitation
of what was then to see.
A frozen memory in synthetic colour
or black and white instead,
fantasy dreams in magazines
become imbedded inside my head.
Artistic views
surrealistic hues,
a photographer’s instinctive eye:
for he does as he pleases
up to that point he releases,
then develops a visual high.
- M R Abrahams

We came across this smart male Common Heath on the Lizard, Cornwall, at the beginning of the month. Their antenna are bipectinate in the males, allow them to detect female pheromones over several hundred metres.
Left in a flat calm from San Diego Y.C. soon after 9pm on Wed21Feb. While still in protected water, I raised the mainsail - difficult to raise completely - looking up the mast by torchlight, I realized that the halyard was outside the lazyjacks (thought I'd been careful, as usual, to get that right!) - so down with the main, removed the shackle from the head of the sail - raise the mainsail again (had the boat going around in slow circles all this time!). Still not going up easily - why?
Out with the torch again - halyard now caught around a step high up near the mast top - lower the sail AGAIN & grab hold of the halyard - wave it about until it comes loose from the step & quickly take up on the halyard, raising the main - still a problem as it goes up! I decide to leave the main with two reefs in - since no wind anyway, the point of having the main up was to reduce rolling in the expected swell and just in cast some wind came up later in my passage. Made a mental note to check
raising the main once I'd arrived. Finally, all was OK - lucky no boat traffic around at that time in the darkness - so I finally got going out through the main channel seawards.
A very uneventful motoring passage, with almost no other boats seen and so I was able to get some catnaps (about 20-30 mins at a time). Early in the morning, I was able to make good use of my AIS input into my Nobeltec display - seeing two big, brightly-lit tankers well ahead, the AIS system told me that they were stationary (at anchor, in fact) so I was able to steer a course midway between them, safe in the knowledge that they weren't moving. The night air temperature was really low, as usual after
a clear sunny day, so I was happy to be warm & snug in my new Musto fleecy trousers and tops...!
Mike helped me in to my slip - not too much manoevring needed in a slight breeze - I'd arrived in Mexico!
The marina staff helped with getting my paperwork prepared ready for clearance in to the country and I jumped on my bike to go & clear in - got there about midday and was finished about an hour later ... not bad!
I then celebrated my arrival with a British couple I met while clearing in- fresh fish tacos at the local fish market were very tasty!

Gallery show by visiting professors Lisa Hsieh and Jr-Gang Chi of ar-ch. (Website is totally "under construction," link is provided for posterity.) I'm interested in their work; they've been exploring themes of transformation and change in a "playful" mode that recalls Hejduk's masques, minus the spooky mystic qualities. Their "Read Or Die" studio in Spring 09 involved students designing custom personal contraptions for anime characters; the contraptions then got scaled up or adapted to produce the building.
In fact, their work alternates back and forth between the transformable prosthetic/toy object as extension of the body (as in the "Read or Die" projects, or Chi's earlier studio projects featuring animal-based contraptions) and the transforming environment - see for example Motile Space (video link).
The "Toy Talk" show splits the difference between these poles - the objects are furniture/prosthetic sized but they operate as an environment; the gallery visitor doesn't act to transform them but instead the creators sneak in during the night and move the toys around, changing their positions and their individual configurations. This video, starring Hsieh, gives you a good sense of the "toys" and their construction/nature.
So on one level it's a kind of cutesy, "The toys are coming to life!" thing. But I remain really interested in the marriage of "play" and "transformable stuff" as themes; I think theirs is work to watch in the future.
I had more to say about all that but I sort of lost it in the shuffle, sorry...
