A close-up photograph captures a section of a *Euphorbia milii* plant, commonly known as Crown of Thorns, situated in a cultivated outdoor environment in Abuja, Nigeria. The scene is dominated by multiple clusters of pale yellow to cream-colored bracts, each featuring a prominent bright orange-yellow central cyathium. Some bracts exhibit subtle pinkish margins. Dark green, ovate-shaped leaves are interspersed throughout the frame, with some appearing in sharp focus and others providing a blurred background. Slender stems with a reddish-brown hue are visible supporting the foliage and floral structures. Natural light illuminates the plant, casting soft shadows on various leaves and emphasizing the texture and color of the flowers. No people or interactions are visible.
