\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Despite its small and underwhelming size, I finally decided to plant this euphorbia in the ground, hoping it grows faster here than in its pot.
\nSurprisingly, everybody seems quite impressed, including Evie, who wrapped herself around it like a snake Sunday morning.<\/p>\n

\"<\/a><\/p>\n

She seems to be enjoying her status as the last cat standing, becoming much more sociable. I think the other ones might have bullied her a bit.
\nWe’ve always assumed her shyness was of the kind shared by all white creatures, vulnerable because of their high visibility and in constant fear of being swooped on from above.
\nThat’s our theory anyway. I can’t attest to its biological accuracy.
\nIf my memory can be trusted, she was named by the boys for the fox character in Pok\u00e9mon. “Eevee” would be the technically correct spelling. <\/p>\n

\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Behind Evie is the big iron basket Reuben gifted me, which has been turned into an ottoman\/table. Marty sawed off the enormous and sturdy handle, breaking only a couple blades in the process. What a sport.<\/p>\n

\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Wish I had three more. Nestled under the wings of a beschorneria, Agave ‘Little Shark,’ also going by ‘Royal Spine,’ was planted here earlier in the year.<\/p>\n

\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As long as she doesn’t lay on top of Aloe capitata var. quartzicola, Evie’s welcome to share this little succulent garden.<\/p>\n

\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The aloe comes armed as well, so I don’t think there’s any real worry.<\/p>\n

\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Agave ‘Cornelius’ is also making good size here and capable of defending itself against loungers and diggers.<\/p>\n

\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’d love some towering columns of this euphorbia from Saudi Arabia. I wouldn’t refuse some towering Euphorbia ingens ‘Variegata’ either.
\nI fantasize about knocking on doors and making offers whenever I see mature specimens of these two around town.
\nEvie can cozy up to E. ammak all she wants, as long as she doesn’t use it as a scratching post.<\/p>\n
