Beautiful. My Mum always had a crown of thorns in a pot in her house and when both my sister and I got married we were each given a cutting of Mum's plant. Of course, when I came to Australia I had to leave mine behind, but I have bought once since and it sits in a pot on my patio.

@louannwarren yes it's wicked thorny :)

[KoalaGardens🐨]

@annied this one was always more of a dusky colour but since it got cold this winter maybe it has deepened into this lovely red

[Desi]

Absolutely magnificent. I don't believe I've ever seen these flowers before. Must be typical Australian?

[KoalaGardens🐨]

@seacreature it is one of the non natives I have, just in the house garden - originally these come from Madagascar 😃

[Ann H. LeFevre]

That's a beauty! I have a cross in a little glass box that was made from a Crown of Thorns bush. It was a gift from one of my students many years ago. She had gone on a trip to Mexico and brought it back for me. I've never seen the flower though. Pretty shot!

[Annie D]
