When I next venture out into the jungle, if it has survived, I should have a bit of griffithii.

Rosebud, only green one that I've got at the moment is Euphorbia amygdaloides=wood spurge.
Evergreen not so tall one..hardy as 'old boots' but it does tend to have 'mind of its own' and spread quite freely. But it is not deep rooted and is quite easily weeded out.
See here http://www.bbc.co.uk/gardening/plants/plant_finder/plant_pages/305.shtml (http://www.bbc.co.uk/gardening/plants/plant_finder/plant_pages/305.shtml)
If that is anything you are after..I can dig some out for you ;)
BTW...moles don't seem to like it at all and keep away the area where it grows.
In my garden I only have it in container..it's been in same one for years now and needs very little attention.
