My cactus was flowering as every year only for one day! The blossom starts to open in the evening and its fully beauty is in the night. Then closes again. Because it has been a cloudy morning it still was good enough to take a photo! In the afternoon it was gone already!

(120/366) Busy day yesterday tidying the house up for an unexpected viewing & at the same time welcoming a family with 2 small kids & dog checking into the B&B. So I just had time for a quick snap of one of my cactus plants basking in the sunshine on the kitchen windowsill.

This cactus neon sign looks like it is begging to be let out into the sunshine. I feel ya, buddy!

Normally the cacti at Lotusland bloom in wintertime, but they were spectacular in early May this year. No one seems to knows why.

Thanks for stopping by!

Cactus florido

Jardí Torre Marimon

Las primeras referencias de la finca se encuentran en el siglo XVI, cuando un miembro de la familia Marimón, de Caldes, se casó con la heredera de esta finca. La singular torre que da nombre a la propiedad es una reconstrucción de la primitiva que se piensa ejercía funciones de vigilancia.

Spotted these rascals on a hiking trip to Joshua Tree National Park in Southern California. We were hiking the hidden meadows trail on the West side of the park. It was mid-day but I was still able to pull out some nice colors in the needles of these cactus.

Tucson Mountain Park, Pima County, Arizona

I was photographing these teddy bear cholla on the west side of Tucson Mountain in the morning shade, just below Gates Pass, when I was suprised by the rising sun popping over the ridge. I quickly reframed for a starburst and the glow of the sun on the cactus needles.

I don't know what kind of cactus this is but I find the spider-like strings interesting. Taken at the Royal Botanical Gardens, Hamilton, Ontario.

I am always amazed at the beautiful blooms that spring from such a menacing plant. I suppose it's nature's way of balancing.
