Wolf's-milk
Euphorbia helioscopia
Wolf's-milk is a tough, adaptable annual or short-lived perennial euphorbia that grows readily in disturbed soils, gardens, and waste ground with very little care. It tolerates a range of soil types and light conditions from full sun to partial shade. Handle with caution as all parts of the plant exude a toxic milky latex sap that can irritate skin and eyes.
