@summerfield LOL! Don't touch now.

[Milanie]

They are cool looking

[Mags]

@milaniet Thank you, Milanie! Appreciate your support with this little series of mine. =)

[Nada]

Such a cool series.

[Mags]

@njmom3 Thank you, Nada! Very kind.

[sheri]

So brand new growth is already deadly. Interesting.

[Corinne C]

Soft and sharp at the same time, nature is amazing!

[Mags]

@sherimiya LOL! Just painful. =)

@corinnec The plant knows how to defend itself. =)

[Diana]

Such an amazing plant and another great shot of it.

[KoalaGardens🐨]

wow those spikes and I would not get along (I always manage to find every spike in a tender place lol)

[aikiuser (jenn)]

A nice series, gotta love those complementary colors!

[Susan Wakely]

Interesting to see this series.

[Dione Giorgio]

I wouldn't want to get any close to those spikes, they look very dangerous. I have cut off a branch of my lemon tree because it broke with the heavy load of lemons and the spikes have cut into my skin in many places. The fool I wasn't wearing gloves.

@ludwigsdiana Thank you, Diana!

@koalagardens Only if you stepped on it with bare feet. =) I think you're safe.

@aikiuser Thank you, Jenn!

@wakelys Thank you, Susan!

@sangwann You're in no danger, Dione. Unless you step on it with bare feet.

[Chris Cook]

This is such a great series on this strangely beautiful plant. One that I would likely avoid in real life but I am drawn to in your images.

[KV]

The fine spines almost look like spirder webs... so interesting.

[Thom Mitchell]

On my visits to the greenhouse, I was almost-always fascinated by emerging new things (leaves & flowers)!

[Margaret Brown]

Another great capture.

[Esther Rosenberg]

Such an interesting plant, nice details.
