Description
Rain drops are like beautiful jewels from above. Beauty is only skin deep with the Euphorbia Cotinifolia plant. The Spanish name hierba mala means bad herb, probably because of its poisonous milky sap, which causes vomiting and can be fatal if ingested. The sap is also caustic to the skin, producing rashes and blisters. In its native range of Central and South America, the plant is used as a fish and arrow poison. Most of its appeal comes from the leaf color. dark burgundy on older leaves, a brighter red on new foliage.
