Like a ghost of a memory
Hoping the sun rekindles your flame.....
At last! I have finished uploading my new pages on my website [see link in bio and below] and this image is from the poem Child of The Sun, which can be found on the page called 'The Heart of The Rose.'
The other two new pages are called 'Revelations' and 'Spiritual Flame'.
This is a detail from the East Stained Glass Window in Glynde Church. These three pages delve deeper into my world, and the poems explore what fascinates and captures me in equal measure.

CHRIST & THE CROWN OF THORNS
Christ's "Crown of Thorns" has been supposed to have been made from some spiny plant. To mock rather than to cause him pain was the soldiers' object, and they took whatever came to their hand first.
However, It is impossible to identify the exact plant or tree, whose thorny branches were selected for this purpose.
The following plants are the candidates;
Lycium spinosum
Ramnus nabeca
Zizyphus Spina Christi
Paliurus aculeatus
Lycium horridum
Zizyphus lotus
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The common name, Crown of Thorns, comes from the legend that the crown of thorns worn by Christ at his crucifixion was made from the entwined stems of this plant. There is substantial evidence that the species, native to Madagascar, was brought to the Middle East before the time of Christ.
Scientific name: Euphorbia Milii (formerly Euphorbia splendens) Euphorbus was the Greek physician of King Juba II (about 50 BC to 19 AD) of Numidia (present day Algeria). King Juba II was the first person to find a succulent-type Euphorbia and named it after his physician Baron Milius who introduced the species in France in 1821.
The Crown of Thorns is a woody, spiny, climbing succulent shrub with shoots reaching a height of 6 feet. The plant flowers nearly all year, especially in winter.
Crown of Thorns is a member of the family Euphorbiaceae (Spurge family), a large family including Poinsettia, Castor Bean, rubber-bearing plants of the genus Hevea, and the Cassava from which we get tapioca. Most members of the Spurge family exude a sticky white sap (latex) from any cut surface which may produce a severe dermatitis.

Happy Wing Wednesday!
While the petals look like they are embracing each other, you would not want to embrace this plant (Euphorbia milii, the crown of thorns) due to the dense spikes on its stems.
