Description
Noted for its incredibly showy bracts, Euphorbia milii, commonly called Crown of Thorns, is a sprawling evergreen shrub with succulent branches lined with long, sharp, black thorns and sparsely leafed. The foliage of leathery, obovate, bright green leaves is produced only on new stem growth. The eye-catching blooms consist of tiny, inconspicuous, yellow flowers held in clusters subtended by very showy and long-lasting red bracts, resembling petals. This plant flowers over an extremely long season, throughout the year in tropical and sub-tropical locations, from late winter well into fall if grown indoors.
According to a religious legend, the crown of thorns worn by Jesus Christ at the crucifixion was made from the stems of this plant, therefore its common name.
