I spotted this hedgehog cactus in bloom at one stop along the road while photographing the wildflowers.

Yes, this cactus is purple. There are several of them in the "common area" adjacent to my yard. The green shrubs in the photo are rosemary bushes, a commonly used item in local landscaping.

Look...its a Peruvian apple cactus blooming in the supermoon light!!!!

This reminds me of a scepter that a plant king would bear at official ceremonies.

This was our last stop of the day. It was very hot and very windy. We saw some Meadowlarks and a Bobwhite which had been flushed from the grass. No photo. We loved the prickly pear cactus blooms!

 

Thanks for your visits! Your comments and faves are greatly appreciated!

A neighbor's cactus in bloom recently. Opuntia is the species, however there are countless sub-species and I'm not that curious.

This cactus tells a very simple life cycle story. Follow the notes (in numerical order). The "end game" is missing but that is ok - it celebrates life! This photograph is much better viewed in its original size since there is a lot of detail.

Photo taken Sunday, September 9, 2012 at Mineral Wells Fossil Park in north Texas. The park has Pennsylvanian Period fossils dated to be over 300 million years old. You can look for and collect these tiny fossils. Most of the fossils we've seen are under an inch long. The largest we've seen are a few inches long. Some are longer, but broken into segments. There is a nice chart at the entrance that helps identify what you've found. A Prickly Pear Cactus in bloom.
