Feel spirits around
They don’t make a sound
They keep me up when I’m down
Please give me the crown
Please give me the crown...

It's been very windy, dark and rainy here, but not really very cold. So I spent most of my time in the Hortus in the desert glass house looking at Euphorbias.
Here on Crown of Thorns is one of those all-pervasive wonderful Marmalade Hoverflies. It's not after pollen but lapping sweets directly from Flower's nectar glands.

Rather a grey sky & loch, but the late afternoon sun was lighting up the palace just nicely. I hadn't been in Linlithgow for a while - I had just popped down to see the Lesser Scaup that's been there for about 1 week by now.

They are actually Euphorbia milii (crown of thorns) flowers. Don't they look like apple-butts though?

Euphorbia milii, the crown of thorns, Christ plant, or Christ thorn, called Corona de Cristo in Latin America (coroa-de-cristo in Brazil), is a species of flowering plant in the spurge family Euphorbiaciae, native to Madagascar. The species name commemorates Baron Milius, once Governor of Réunion, who introduced the species to France in 1821. It is imagined that the species was introduced to the Middle East in ancient times, and legend associates it with the crown of thorns worn by Christ. It is a succulent subshrub or shrub growing to 1.8 m 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 broad. 19014

Crown of Thorns Plant
Botanical Name: Euphorbia milii
Crown of Thorns plant is one of the rare succulents capable of blooming almost year-round. It also happens to be one of the easiest to grow indoors, preferring the same warm conditions we do.
Bright-green leaves grow along its thick, thorny stems. Lower leaves naturally fall off as the plant ages -- and they won't grow back. If your plant gets too tall and leggy, you can prune it back by half its size in spring. This will cause it to branch out. New stems will grow from below where the pruning cuts were made, making this succulent bushy and full.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

This is one of my favorite tropical flowers! The lovely overlapping petals and beautiful button-like centers with golden stamens. The petals are fleshy and so the rain seems to stick to them, hanging there on humid mornings just waiting for me and my camera!

This happy go lucky horse was racing around his large pasture area and seemed unaware of the large amount of burrs caught up in his mane. Seen in West Virginia, USA
It has been a while since I posted some new artwork. To make matters worse, I have been steadily losing my eyesight. So, because of that I have been painting in earnest. I have some others to share on my gallery website (www.lifeafterdeathstudios.wordpress.com), but this one I wanted to share with my Flickr friends, as I think it would make a good photo, too.
As always, be kind to artists who share their work. it is personal, and they are sharing a part of themselves.

Walking Stick, Phasmatodea, also called Phasmida and Devil's darning needle on Crown of Thorns succulent. My back porch.
Southwest Arizona, USA.
The bizarre-looking, slow-moving, plant-eating walking stick - among the most intriguing of the insects - has raised camouflage, mimicry and defense to a veritable art form. Through an adaptation called "crypsis," it blends in so perfectly with its natural habitat that it often goes completely undetected by would-be predators. Its taxonomic family name, "Phasmatidae," derived from the Greek word "Phasma," means, appropriately, phantom or apparition.

As I enlarged the image of the plant (crown of thorns) I noticed the bird like features - maybe I should take less meds.
The crown of thorns is a succulent shrub with densely spiny stems. The spines help it scramble over other plants.
