Crown of Thorns
The Crown of Thorns is a plant known scientifically as *Euphorbia milii*. It is a succulent shrub native to Madagascar and is characterized by its thorny stems and colorful flowers. The plant thrives in warm climates and is often used in gardens and landscaping due to its drought resistance and low maintenance needs.
The name "Crown of Thorns" is also associated with the biblical account of the suffering of Jesus Christ, where a crown made of thorns was placed on his head during the events leading to the crucifixion. This symbolism has made the plant significant in Christian art and culture, representing sacrifice and suffering.
