About this image
Euphorbia ingens is a species of plant in the genus Euphorbia and the family Euphorbiaceae. It is native to dry areas of southern Africa. It is popularly known as the "candelabra tree", and its milky latex can be extremely poisonous, and a dangerous irritant.
This tall succulent tree with green round-like branches resembling a balloon is 6-8 meters tall. Its trunk is thick. Candelabrum stems have 5 ridges each and are 3.5-7.5 centimeters thick. Segmented sprouts are dark-green. Young sprouts have paired spines 0.5-2 millimeters long, often reflected. Small greenish yellow flowers sit on the ridges of the topmost segment. The plant blooms from autumn to winter. A red round 3-lobed capsule fruit turns purple when ripened.

What my clients say
We purchased two wonderful photos from Adam. One a framed black and white of The Bean in Chicago. And, the other of an iconic road in Door County on metal. The process was painless and Adam checked in with us to make sure everything was going well. We will be looking at his work in the future for both the quality of his craftmanship and the professional way he handled the purchase and shipping of our purchase.
I came across Adam's work while searching for unique photos of the St. Lawrence River and found a great shot of the Baie-Comeau Bridge. My inquiries were met with a prompt and courteous response from Adam directly who accommodated my color and sizing requests. After an easy purchase, the photo was carefully shipped and arrived in one week. It was very easy and pleasant transaction.
Love my night time photograph of Chicago! The colors and quality of the photo are beautiful. I ordered and received my order within a week. Can’t wait to hang this on our wall!! Thanks Adam!
