Euphorbia 'Supergrandiflora' Sets New Bloom Size StandardsIf you are looking for an unusual flowering plant that is anything but ordinary, you might have found what you need with the new 'Supergrandiflora' line of Euphorbia milii (Crown of Thorns) varieties from Rancho Tissue Technologies, Inc., a tissue culture lab specializing in new and unusual plant varieties. 
The new series from Thailand has flowers larger than anything you have ever seen in a Crown of Thorns. The two-inch-large blooms put ordinary varieties to shame. Not only are the flowers larger than those of common varieties, they also come in a wider range of colors. The series is available in five brilliant hues, including yellow, orange, red, pink, and blush. More colors are scheduled for introduction in the future. Euphorbia 'Supergrandiflora' is outstanding as a patio plant and in the landscape during frost-free conditions or in a bright spot in the house. The plants flower early and can be grown in any pot size ranging from four-inch pots to large specimen. The new Crown of Thorns varieties are grown in tissue culture, ensuring healthy, uniform plant material. Compared to conventionally grown plants, those grown in tissue culture are more vigorous and diseasefree, which reduces crop losses and ensures higher success rates.
