Trudy, Aeoniums are on my wishlist for next year, ill check Ebay for them, Thanks..
I never bother about gloves when I prune my Euphorbia's and have had contact with the sap on numerous occasions and never suffered any ill effects. Of course everyone's different though, I used to come out in a rash after touching strawberries and tomatoes.
