The red flowers on the hedgehog cactus down the road by the bank are opening. We were shopping today and I took the time to walk over to the landscaped area where these were in bloom.
I hope everyone likes cactus flowers because this is the time of the year when we will be posting a lot of cactus flower images. Click on the image to enlarge.
Later Winter and Spring, in the desert, are always magnificent.
Yes they are! We love it!
This is one of the Claret Cup Hedgehogs (E. triglochidiatus varieties). Its flowers stay open day and night, or so I have read.
Yes it is and its beautiful!
