Here’s more of the spring crop of cactus flowers. These three were adjacent on a cactus paddle. I had to duck under a palo verde tree in bloom to get to the cactus underneath. Notice the center flower has a bee gathering nectar. Click on the image to enlarge.
Boy, they’re bustin’ out all over!
Spring in the desert.
Love it!
I have some from south Texas that have orange-red flowers, and they flowered for me last week. Spectacular?
*ahem* I meant to put an exclamation point after “Spectacular”.
Everybody makes typos.
I bet they were pretty.
Oh, they were. I had never seen a red-flowered Prickly Pear before, so I’m glad I got some cuttings.
