Re: striking Euphorbia rigida cuttings?

Seeds would be more successful. Has it reseeded itself yet? These kinds of Euphorbs tend to reseed very freely. 

 Will you pass it on to us all once you have it going?

I LOVE that!

Hi folks -
In my neighborhood, there is a plant of Euphorbia rigida that is really unusual: http://www.flickr.com/photos/hortulus_aptus/2213493392/in/pool- medit-garden The leaves are very lightly packed and arranged in a spiral fashion, some growing one way, some another. The owner has agreed that I could take some cuttings, but I can't recall striking cuttings from this type of Euphorbia before. Is there something special you need to do with latex sapped plants such as this? Does anyone have experience rooting cuttings from this species? Would layering be better? (or would it even work?). As you can see, the plant is coming into flower, so I may have a chance at obtaining some seeds 
(which may or may not come true).  Before I impose upon this person's
generosity, I thought I'd try and maximize my success.
