How weird, my best guess is just a very superior ovary

I don’t use Reddit very often, so I’m not sure why my description was not included, here it is:
‘I’m not very well-read in botany, but I think I’ve heard that meristem cells that have differentiated into floral structures cannot revert back to produce stem/leaf structures. I was therefore a bit surprised when I saw what I think are leaf/stem structures emerging from the inflorescence of what I think is an Euphorbia. Anyone who can clarify what I’m seeing/refer me to scientific sources I’m very happy to hear what you think’
