EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we are transported to the rugged landscapes of Imbros, Crete in Greece. The star of the show? None other than the Greek spiny spurge (Euphorbia acanthothamnos), a true rebel among plants! With its vibrant green hue and unique appearance, this plant stands out from the crowd like a punk rocker at a classical concert. Its prickly stems and thorny leaves give it an edgy personality that can't be ignored. As we gaze at this botanical wonder, we can almost hear it saying, "I'm not your average flower! I thrive in harsh conditions and rocky terrains. Don't mess with me!". It's as if Mother Nature decided to create her own version of a mosh pit right here on Crete. Photographer Peter Lilja has perfectly captured the essence of this wild beauty. The contrast between the softness of nature's colors and textures against sharp stones creates a visual masterpiece that demands our attention. So let us celebrate this rebellious spirit found in every corner of our natural world. From now on, when you think about euphorbias or punk rockers, remember the Greek spiny spurge - defying conventions one thorn at a time!
