Image Description: The Camel Thorn, known to botanists as the Acacia erioloba, may be a dangerous plant to reach for given its long, nasty-looking thorns, but getting to it before it has grown those dangerous protectors can make for a beautiful and truly unique bouquet. When plucked and placed directly into clean water, even Camel Thorn without roots can survive for an astounding four weeks, instantly giving it a champion’s title when it comes to centerpieces that last long enough to serve their purpose. Native to South Africa, Camel Thorn may be hard to come by in the wild, but it is often sold by florists for the very purpose of constructing bouquets.
