    Crown of Thorns and an unhealthy one at that

    Not a cactus at all actually, but Alluaudia Procera, a deciduous succulent from Madagascar

    Looks like alluaudia procera, not euphorbia

    It is definitely an Ocotillo, but I think it looks much more like the North American (Sonoran Desert) ocotillo variety- Latin name Fouquieria splendens. Very similar to Alluaudia procera (native to Madagascar), but different plant families.

    I don’t think it’s a Crown of Thorns, although it resembles it. The thorns are too long. Make a small cut in a stem and see if a white liquid comes out. If so, it’s a Crown of Thorns, if not, it’s what the other people are saying.

    I just wonder whose answer the OP is going to believe is right, lol.

    Ocotillo! The leaves and flowers are edible, the flowers make a great tea, very bitter though. The nectar is super sweet, if you find some solidified on a flower I highly recommend trying it!

    My mom said when she lived in Mexico, they would make impenetrable fences from these plants, amazing.

    Definitely ocotillo. I grew up in Arizona and these were everywhere.
