A Bhutanese aphrodisiac?

Answer 17

I was wondering if you were looking for more information about cultivating this Himalayan plant (besides Bhutan, they mention Tibet and south west China): http://www.seedaholic.com/euphorbia-griffithii.html

There is not much information over more generalised sources:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euphorbia_griffithii

There are many different species of the genus Euphorbia, like the popular poinsettia, for instance, or:

the "Christ thorn"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euphorbia_milii

Thank you for those links. It could be fun to give this one a try..

Answer 19
