I think Euphorbia polychroma is a possibility  |

That doesn't mean a whole lot, though - I've come to realise that pretty much anything grown in gardens also stands a chance of being found outside them, especially when you're looking in places around towns  |

It does look as though it could be E. polychrama- though I'm by no means certain. It is a common garden plant, regularly sold in garden centres, so it would be a surprise if it didn't turn up somewhere! |

Doesn't really look like E. polychroma to me
Here is a pic of E. polychroma to compare  |

No, I don't think it's E. polychroma - as Tiggrx's picture shows, that seems to be quite a distinctive plant.
For a while I thought I'd cracked it when I came across this photo of a cultivated spurge, which seems a very, very close match to mine. Unfortunately Euphorbia longifolia, as it's named on the website, doesn't exist - the RHS list it as a pseudonym of Euphorbia cornigera, Horned Spurge, but the pictures Google Image come up with for that species are so different I can't really believe they're all of the same plant 
I just don't seem to be getting very far with this one |
