Pain and Beauty
*****
The plant that produces such pretty flowers is called The Crown of Thorns.
Per the Internet:
"The plant’s name alludes to the legend that (before) His crucifixion, a wreath or crown made from stems of this plant was placed on the head of Christ. As they are pliable, the stems conceivably could be intertwined and shaped into a circle."
I'm placing this in the Macro/Closeup category, because the main subject is not flowers, but thorns.
