Snow-on-the-mountain

Snow-on-the-mountain Euphorbia marginata is an annual plant of the prairies that has escaped from gardens in other areas. It is covered with fine hairs and has a milky juice like other species of Euphorbia. Its tiny flowers, which are reduced to just stamens or pistils, are surrounded by leafy bracts that have broad white margins, giving the plant its popular name. [CH] {GW}
