Updates to plant collection and Euphorbia obesa 'Baseball Plant'

Im in the process of updating my plant list. I had a few losses over the winter and just this weekend had made a few succulent purchases. I was able to get three new Hoyas and a few new Euphorbias. One of the Euphorbias I had purchased was a small obesa in a 2" pot. I dont know if male or female, but I have wanted to grow one of these for awhile. This link to Euphorbia obesa on Wikipedia shows how to sex this plant.
While very rare and getting close to extinction in its natural habitat due to over collection, E. obesa is well established in cultivation. Being easily propagated from seed, hundreds of thousands are produced yearly in the horticultural trade.
