The following photographs are of a rather curious plant, commonly called the crown of Christ, it is named for the way it grows.

Las siguientes fotografías son de una planta bastante curiosa, comúnmente llamada corona de cristo, se le nombra así por la manera en qué ésta crece.



It is a plant that grows several centimeters long, its twigs are full of thorns and at the end of these grow very bright flower bouquets.

Es una planta que llega a crecer varios centímetros de largo, sus ramitas están llenas de espinas y al final de éstas crecen ramilletes de flores muy llamativas.



The flowers vary from blood red to an opaque yellow, the leaves are scarce, they can only be seen at the end of each twig, stuck from where the flower corsages come out.

Las florecillas varían entre el rojo sangre hasta un amarillo opaco, las hojas son escasas, sólo se les puede observar al final de cada ramita, pegadas de dónde salen los ramilletes de las flores.



This is a fairly poisonous plant, since it sprouts a white and viscous liquid, which should not have contact with eyes, skin and much less ingest it, since the consequences of this are quite serious.

Esta una planta bastante venenosa, ya que de ella brota un líquido blanco y viscoso, el cual no debe tener contacto con ojos, piel y mucho menos ingerirlo, ya que las consecuencias de ello son bastante graves.



If there is contact with the skin, there is immediate irritation, itching and pain, the exposed area becomes inflamed and there is a rash.

Si existe contacto con la piel, inmediatamente hay irritación comezon y dolor, la zona expuesta se inflama y hay erupcion cutánea.



If ingested by mistake, the consequences are even more serious, there is a burn in the mouth and throat, abdominal pain and vomiting.

De haberlo ingerido por error, las consecuencias son aún más graves, hay quemadura en boca y garganta , dolor abdominal y vómitos.



It has an ornamental use since it can basically survive almost anywhere, does not require much care and blooms all year.

Tiene un uso ornamental ya que básicamente puede sobrevivir en casi cualquier lugar, no requiere de muchos cuidados y florece todo el año.



You should keep in mind that if you have children, it is not advisable to have it at home; If there are no children in your home, and you are a lover of plants and flowers, you should keep in mind that you should not touch it, although if you look at its thorns, I doubt that I still wanted touched.

Debes tener en mente que si tienes niños no es recomendable tenerla en casa; si no hay niños en tu hogar, y eres amante de las plantas y flores debes tener presente el no tocarla, aunque observando sus espinas, dudo mucho que se antoje hacerlo.

Hi @lourdeshd6, the information you give us is one more addition, for me it is enough to look at it in detail to have it far away, OMG, I better look at it from an inclined angle.
Blessings dear friend
