There are so many flowers opening this month that it is hard to decide which photos to post. Today’s winner is this image of two side-by-side beavertail cactus flowers. They will be gone tomorrow or the next day, so we will enjoy them while we can. Click on the image to enlarge.
There are so many flowers popping out, it’s hard to keep up. We visited Mom at the ranch on Friday and I saw this Argentine giant cactus flower blooming in a neighbor’s yard. So pretty and such a delicate fragrance. I can hardly wait until our giant blooms in a week or so. Click on the image to enlarge.
Bob and I went to visit Mom at the retirement ranch today. I noticed this small prickly pear cactus with a beautiful two-tone red and yellow flower near the entrance to the ranch. We stopped at the entrance on our way out and I took this image. Click on the image to enlarge.
I posted about a neighbor’s Hot Pink Beavertail Flower a few days ago and now, we have our first open flowers. This is one of several beavertail cacti that Bob transplanted from the upper part of our property to the rock and cactus garden beside the RV drive. Click on the image to enlarge.
We have been expecting the hedgehog cactus flowers to open just after the first few days of spring. Well, they’re starting to open. The first two were open yesterday and a third one opened today. It looks like another will be opening tomorrow, too.
We’re still waiting on our beavertail cactus flowers which should start to open soon. Click on the image to enlarge.
I took this photo about five years ago. Light from the window above the staircase in our California house beamed onto the back of this lily to make it appear as if the lily itself was the source of illumination. Happy Easter! Click on the image to enlarge.
Our neighbors a few blocks away have a mature beavertail cactus growing in their yard. It always seems to be the first one in the area to bloom. Click on the image to enlarge.
I took this image of one of many flowers to come today. My beavertail has a lot of flower buds and should bloom any day now. I also have many, many hedgehog buds all around the lot. More photos to come as spring progresses.
