The crown of thorns with no thorns

Euphorbia geroldii - Thornless Crown of Thorns

👑 The crown of thorns with no thorns!

⭕️ Euphorbia geroldii, also called the Thornless Crown of Thorns, is a rare gem from Madagascar. Unlike its spiny cousins, this semi-succulent grows smooth stems. The branches are soft, graceful and droopy, with wide glossy leaves.

⭕️ The real show comes from its blooms - pairs of scarlet bracts with golden centers that appear almost all year long.

⭕️ Easy in pots, even shaped as bonsai, it's a collector's plant that looks both exotic and approachable.

⭕️ Surprisingly for Euphorbias, it loves shade and water!

⭕️ And yes - no thorns, just flowers.
