Another large cactus bloom at the Phoenix Desert Botanical Garden. This one with pointier petals. I would guess this bloom is about 4 inches (~10cm) across

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!

A macro of a part of a cactus we have on the terrace which has been growing like crazy these past couple of months. It's covered in little oval shaped leaves at the moment and it was these I wanted to try and capture. There's a photo of it in the first comment.
Have a great new week ahead everyone! 😊
Cumulopuntia boliviana est une espèce de plantes dicotylédones de la famille des Cactaceae, originaire d'Amérique du Sud. Ce sont des cactus formant des « coussins » qui poussent dans les déserts andins à environ 4000 mètres d'altitude.
Cumulopuntia boliviana est un cactus densément armé d'épines jaunes à brun-rougeâtre qui peuvent atteindre 10 cm de long.
Ce cactus se développe en formant de grands « coussins » hémisphériques creux, allant jusqu'à un mètre de diamètre. Les segments de la tige, allongés à ovoïdes, vert pâle, mesurent jusqu'à 7,5 cm de long sur 4 cm de diamètre. Les fleurs, jaunes, rarement orange, rose ou rouge, atteignent 5 cm de long pour 6 cm de diamètre.
D'après diapositive.
These are actually the arms of one very large cactus. Seen in the Baja desert of San Felipe, Mexico.
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.
This morning I was so delighted to see my Christmas Cactus in full bloom, where yesterday it was a closed bud. I got below the flower and had the sun shining behind to illuminate the petals.
Nope, although their name "teddy bear cholla" might sound inviting, best not to snuggle with these sharp Sonoran succulents, On a related note, did have a "run in" with one of these fellows one time. Needless to say, I'm a little more cautious now. : flic.kr/p/2nWjv4p .
