Euphorbia corallioides

	I grow 6 or 7 different euphorbias, and love them all, especially
E. dulcis and E. characias  wulfenii. I was lucky enough to find a
new species in a very ordinary petunia/begonia nursery. It's
E.corallioides "Fernwool". Right now it's a low mound in a 1-gal.
pot. The flower cluster is that unmistakeable chartreuse colour.
But it's the leaves that are so unusual --- they look just like fir
needles, except the stem is sort of maroon in colour --- but they
are very very very soft. What a surprise, what a pleasure for the
senses!

	None of my books, including Hortus, mention this species.
Has anyone grown it? Where is it from? What kind of plant does
it make? How tall? How Huge? (E.c.wulfenii has gone wild in my
garden, so I'd like to know if I need to prepare for something as
big as that)   Thanks.
