This flower just opened today on a little Opuntia Basilaris planted out front in the red rocks just above the road and below the garage. This cactus is a transplant from another part of the property behind the house.
There are other flowers opening soon or are already open; the lemon tree has blossoms and my golden barrel cactus has a flower opening soon. The plum tree is sprouting leaves and has many open flowers.
Desert springtime is just a very pleasant time for flower lovers. We plan to show a lot of the flowers as they appear.
For as homely as the Prickly Pears in all their forms, they have among the most beautiful flowers.
“Prickly Pears ARE in…”
Dang it! Now I’M thinking faster than I type!
I just Love spring. All the flowers in bloom.
