so is this euphorbia peplus ? plant was mostly prostrate-ish and not more than 3 inches high I would say.....and is it in flower in this pic ? ( euphorbia flowers are always confusing me )
while on the subject does anyone know where I can find euphorbia characias ? I have been looking high and low for this but never find it. I guess it shud be in flower soon

thanks

I guess this is Euphorbia peplus ssp peploides, a garrigue plant.
E. characias used to be quite common in former times, according to Edwin Lanfranco, but is very rare today. The only specimen I know from Malta is at Buskett.
