Also at the tips of the branches are the pairs of cream and pink flowers (bracts). The plants in the supergrandiflora series was bred in Thailand by crossing Euphorbia lophogona with Euphorbia millii and selections were made for good color and large bracts. These hybrids are correctly known as Euphorbia x lomi, a hybrid epithet formed from the first two letters of the parent species, but are generally marketed as Supergrandiflora Hybrids. The cultivar 'Good Morning' has much larger flower bracts (the colorful petal-like leaves that surround the true flowers) than those typically surrounding the flowers of the common red crown of thorns. These bracts are cream colored with a splash of pink in the center and can be present year-round in mild climates but are most abundant in the spring. It has low water needs and does best in the full sun or light shade. Hardy to about 28 degrees F. A great container plant, in a rock garden or trained up as a small wall covering. Tolerates seaside conditions.  This description of this plant is based on our research and our observations of it growing at the nursery, in our own garden and in other gardens.
