Description
This pretty pair of flowers, properly called bracts, is the blossom of the succulent cactus Euphorbia milii, commonly known as the crown of thorns, Christ plant, or Christ thorn. As the names suggest, the stems are spiny. The plant is a climbing shrub, quite hardy in warmer climates. It is toxic and ingestion can cause intestinal pain and blisters in the mouth in addition to other symptoms.

What beautiful flowers and love the abstract background Nikolyn! l/f/t
Nikolyn McDonald replied:
Thank you, Pamela. The background is actually out-of-focus blossoms and leaves. I did apply a texture with a canvas look to it.
