Perhaps one of the best named plants that we have. You just don't hear things named after the devil anymore, do you? He seems to have gone out of vogue.

That's a wicked little smile on that twig.
A good post and photograph!
I like your series on the wildflowers a lot too. I can't wait till they bloom here.
It's also good to hear that your road is fixed!
Now that isn't the kind of walking stick that I would want to use!
Ouch, it hurts just to look at it. I am not familiar with this plant. I don't think I want to be either.
Reminds me of one evening (on a road trip years ago,) I almost fell onto a barrel cactus in Arizona...
Perfectly named.. A very interesting post.. I will read up abit more about this.. as for the Devil.. he still about I'm sure.. just waiting his chance.
Wow! And Ouch!!!
I planted one of these last year, but it's not that impressive...yet!
