Its Euphorbia lathyris.
Thats it. Thanks
It's a pretty neat looking plant. Is it considered to be a pest?
Euphorbia lathyris is usually planted as a gopher purge.
Do a Google search for more info on it.
i totally disagree about it being a Euphorbia, perennial or otherwise. but, seems to me, the easiest way to tell is to break off a small sprig of it and if a milky-white, slippery sap appears, it MIGHT be a Euphorbia...but it STILL don't look like a Euphorbia to moi.
You can disagree all you want, goofball, but it doesn't mean anything. Study up on Euphorbia before making such a silly proclamation. You obviously know very little about the extent of diversity in the genus.
Pat later posted links to pix showing the plant to be Euphorbia lathyris without any doubt.
