Crown of thorns
Cartagena de Indias, Colombia.
Euphorbia milii (Crown of thorns / Corona de Cristo)
The crown of thorns is a species of flowering plant native to Madagascar. The common name is due to the thorns and deep red bracts referring to the crown thorn Jesus had to wear during his crucifixion and his blood.
It is a woody succulent subshrub or shrub growing to 1.8 m (5 ft 11 in) tall, with densely spiny stems. The flowers are small, subtended by a pair of conspicuous petal-like bracts, variably red, pink or white, up to 12 mm (0.47 in) broad.
