Rose prickles !

 

Did you know the largest flower found on earth weighs fifteen pounds and can grow up to three feet! It is called the Rafflesia Arnoldii.  Flowers are attractive and appear in different colours and shapes to attract pollinators who help in pollen transfer.  Most flowers have four main parts: sepals, petals, stamens, and carpels.

 

Maybe a rose is a rose is a rose, but a rose thorn isn't a thorn at all. It's a prickle.
