Euphorbia Crown of Thorns

12x12 watercolor and Brusho wc crystals on Masters 140 lb cold press paper recently painted for an online contest; photo courtesy Dewi Saputra of Thailand. (Wikipedia states that Euphorbia milii, the crown of thorns, Christ plant, or Christ thorn, is a species of flowering plant in the spurge family Euphorbiaceae, native to Madagascar. The species name commemorates Baron Milius, once Governor of Réunion, who introduced the species to France in 1821). The plant grows in Zone 10 here in the USA and is an indoor or outdoor specimen.
