Hello, a friend give us these plants last year but did not know their identity. Does anyone know what this beauty is? As you can see it has a red (leaf shape) inset as part of the main leaf. Thanks for your help in advance!

It looks like one of the native Poinsettia. So definitely a Euphorbia. I don't know if there are native Poinsettia in Oklahoma.

Thanks for the speedy replies! It's good to put a name on it. We moved a few (about 4"-6" tall) in early June to another location that took hold in about a week and they're about 27" tall and a 36" spread, we love it!

Our data base may be wrong. There seems to be two distinct plants: Euphorbia heterophylla and Euphorbia cyathophora. Euphorbia heterophylla var. cyathophora is a synonym for Euphorbia heterophylla.
