    Euphorbia yattana (formerly Monadenium yattanum) is a small caudex forming shrublet. Interestingly, it tends to continuously flower nearly all year long for me. Though not all flushes of cyathia always take to self-pollination.

    Here’s a photo from last year of a flush of cyathia and seed pods when the plant was a bit younger, it flowers way more profusely nowadays: https://www.reddit.com/r/Euphorbiaceae/comments/1j1h18e/euphorbia_yattana_monadenium_yattanum_seed_pods/

    Euphorbia yattana has proven fairly easy to grow from seed, but I’ve been limited by the amount of seed I’ve been able to produce in the past year or two. That said, I should be able to put down several hundred seeds this year of it. I’m unaware of E. yattana being readily available in cultivation, so hopefully I’ll be able to help distribute some plants in the coming years.
