Default Pedilanthus macrocarpa
A plant most of you are probably not familiar with: pedilanthus macrocarpa or “Slipper Plant”. First the plant (about 4 feet tall), then a bloom, then the seed pods emerging from spent blooms. It has a milky, caustic sap, and it is probably in the Euphorbia family. The blooms are pretty unobtrusive, but the plant has a nice “architectural” look in the landscape. This one blooms all summer, wet, dry, hot, whatever.
