Angry-Looking Fruit: Arizona Sonoran Desert
Freshly opened fruit on an Organ Pipe Cactus in southern Arizona's Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument.
The developing fruit look like unappetizing, spine-covered blobs. When ripe, however, they open into colorful food bowls for wildlife. Photo taken in July 2016. (Yes, it was extremely hot...)
