Crown of Thorns

Hello there!
We meet again!!

Here's another beauty taken from the Secret Garden.
Don't they looked like hats? :)


It's my first time seeing this Euphorbia Milii.
Ohh..how my heart melted.. lol!

Just can't get enough of its curling petals!


Looking like cups too.


In various shades of shocking pink.


Actually, this flower is not in full bloom yet.
Its tiny flowers are hidden inside those "cup" petals.

Commonly known as "Crown of Thorns".
this plant has big sharp thorns
on its stem and branches.

Unfortunately...
I didn't get a good shot at it  :(
 Got carried away focusing on the petals too much!!

By the way,
any new year resolution for your garden?
I am starting off with herbs.
Will keep you posted with my success story on it
...when that happens! :) :)
Ciao!

    I'm glad to see these nice flowers, Ash because they are similar the flowers on my new hat! And the color is similar!!
    It's good idea to start your new garden with herbs, I think mostly edible, am I right?
    Have a nice day!

      Oh my goodness!! Really, Nadezda? Wish I could see you wearing that hat. Must be nice!!
      Yeah, I'm serious on herbs now. No doubt, there will be many pests but I will keep it going.
      And you are right, I'm starting on edibles for now.
      Thanks for dropping by :)

    Hi Ash, I absolutely love this plant and have this too. It takes root easily and never fails to bloom. In Myanmar and Cambodia, you can see it almost outside every house in the countryside.

      Give me some time as I'm moving to a new home with a bigger garden. Probably would have settled down by April-May. In fact, I have been digging trenches for flower beds. Its such tough work; my muscles rebelled and my skin has bronzed considerably. On top of that I'm not getting any younger.

      Oh you poor thing. Is there any way I could help you with?

      Thanks for the offer, but I don't think I could trouble you with this menial job. Actually I have some wokers to dig the beds, but its not as deep as I would like it to be. There's also a lot to sort out- bricks, stones, ruble, rocks etc. Then we mix in the good soil before planting.

      Hello James! What a lovely surprise..long time no see :)
      You may probably knew by now that I had been sick for quite a while but I'm so much better already. My garden is nourishing me with beautiful blooms..much to my surprise! Very therapeutic, just what I need right now. It's good to be back and blogging again. Thanks James.

      Glad to know that you are recovering.
      I thought you were planning to shift and so you got busy.
      Did you manage to get to your new place?

      Anyway - as you asked me about the succulents.
      Yes - pretty sure I can pass to you those which you desire.
      Have a nice day.

      Hello James. Seems that my moving has to be put on hold now as the hospital that I'm going to is close to my current home.
      Will let you know of the succulents that I'm interested in through FB. Thanks again James :)
      Take care.
