  • Question

    I have these plants in my front lawn (in Los Angeles). I don't know if it's a weed or some kind of plant. Can you help me identify? I have two plants. I believe them to be the same, but I can't be sure. Thank you very much!

    Answer

    Dear Djokluv, good morning. Los Angelese is a long way away from New England, but I do believe I can help with the first plant you posted (it has narrow white margins on the upper leaves). This looks like Euphorbia marginata (mountain snow spurge), a member of the Euphorbiaceae (spurge family). The second plant I am unable to help with--but if it flowers, please post another image and I will try to assist.
