I don't have any thorned plants handy, and I'm just wondering - when you remove the thorn, what does the other side look like? Is it flat and smooth, or hooked into the plant somehow? I'm doing an organic graffiti type drawing.. anyways, I can't find any photos. Descriptions or photos would be appreciated.

Here's what they look like:
They're triangular shaped. The end touching the plant is wider & flatter & slightly curved:

Scroll down to the second picture...these thorns are more curved toward the tip than the first image & looks like a claw:

Good luck! Hope this is helpful.

Rose thorns look like triangles and have 2 curved sides that stick up and a flat side that attaches to the flat side of a stem. Cactus thorns look like needles or clusters of needles and attach to the stem at the less-pointy end.

It is slightly concave on roses.
