I could knock myself over with a feather, but I know what that Euphorbia
is. Common name is Gopher Purge (or Spurge). The triangular leaves pop
out when it's going to seed. Its first year of life consists of the
straight -from -the -stem leaves (I don't recall whether they're opposite),
and I'm too lazy to go look out the window. I think it's E.
