First is one of many medusoid possibilities... will need a full head of foliage and possibly even cyathia to know, and even then, there are so many hybrids on the market. Second is a plant I have but do not know what it is... .... possibly a horridus hybrid. Pretty hardy plant, though... tolerates temps down into the high teens.

Thanks Geoff. I have all my Euphorbias on a north facing wall which is the hot side down here. And our temps only really get down to about 3 or 4 degrees on the coldest winter nights which is around 37F. They all do well except Euphorbia baioensis. I have just tried to grow it again for the second time but I think because it is such a tropically species it just doesn't do well. Our weather here is closest in equivalent to SF with the occasional Palm Springs like summer!
