Please Help I.D. Interesting Plant

[Goofzilla]

I've had this plant for several years, and have finally decided to ask what the heck it is! It sure is a good grower, and generally always has several blooms of flowers.

Thanks for the help!

It's called Euphorbia milli. The common name is "Crown of Thorns". Be careful of the white sap; apparently it can cause skin irritation (but never has for me) and temporary/permanent blindness if put into the eye. Don't eat it either. All Euphorbia have it.

Nevermind the Pachypodium idea, I agree with Ben on his ID.

Aw man! All my plans are ruined now, Ben. I was planning on having salad & or rubbing some leaves in my eye balls. Anyway I really appreciate it!

Talk to you later,
