It is springtime, which is a very good time of the year here in the Sonoran Desert. The trees are green, the weather is getting warmer and there are lots of flowers blooming. I post pictures of cactus flowers because they are beautiful and (mostly) limited to appearing only in the spring and summer months. No two are exactly alike and it gives us great pleasure to see them.
On the left above, is an image of a pink hedgehog flower open on a little cactus down the road from us. On the right, is a lovely yellow prickly pear flower, also down the road, open for beesness (pun intended). Click on either image to enlarge.
Oooohh, that one “stung”!
