So I was just wondering, could anybody help me identify this plant? It looks like passion flower, but I'm really not sure... Any help would be great  changalvia attached the following image(s):  IMG-20120702-00115.jpg (782kb) downloaded 59 time(s).With every great plan comes the pleasure of patience.

Doesnt look like passiflora at all to me but im certainly no expert. No idea what it could be. Why the particular interest in it, if I may ask? Can you share more or less your geographic location to help pinning down? Also other details on the plant, like is it a climbing vine, is it a bush, what kind of microclimate is it growing in, is it cultivated or wild, etc ?

These flowers are growing all over S.A, normal sunny skies and warm temperatures on average about 24 degrees Celsius, growing naturally in a backyard. Its more like a tree than a bush... But not huge With every great plan comes the pleasure of patience. Take a rest, and grab a suckle off the teat of life!

i have no clue what that is, but it definitely is not a passiflora. passifloras as a general rule have ten petaled flowers, and they have a pretty unique stamen My wind instrument is the bong

Passiflora is a vine, so no... it is not that. Break a stem and see if there is a milky sap in it. Yes? it is a Euphorbia species. A wild form of the much cultivated Poinsetta group of plants.
