This image captures a close-up, high-angle view of multiple pink *Euphorbia milii* (Crown of Thorns) flowers, located in Ouderkerk aan de Amstel, Netherlands. The foreground and mid-ground are occupied by clusters of small, heart-shaped to roundish pink floral bracts. Some bracts exhibit a vibrant pink coloration, transitioning to a lighter pink or off-white hue towards their base. Several prominent bracts feature distinct, small, yellow reproductive structures centrally located within them. The background consists of dark green, ovate leaves, partially visible and in varying degrees of soft focus, indicating a natural plant environment. No human subjects, actions, or specific interactions are discernable within the frame. The scene is illuminated by diffused light.
