Euphorbia millii (nicknamed Crown of Thorns) is native to Madagascar and it is said this plant was what was used to make the crown of thorns that Christ wore. Of course the exact species of plant that was used is not known but interestingly the wooded stems can be intertwined.

Frank, referring to your narrative, please read in the Holy Bible John 19:2.
The sap of this plant is moderately poisonous. That does intensify my feelings even more that the ones who placed the 'crown' on Jesus Christ's head, were sadists.

Thanks anyhow for this very fine image.

Regards, Cornelius.

Very pretty capture Frank - I really like that wooded stem - looks it may have been the idea behind barbed wire.
