Every spring I go looking for cactus flowers to photograph. From time to time we get a circle of little red blossoms each about the size of a push-pin on a potted plant that we've kept on our California porch for many years, but there in Arizona there are scads of the huge pink ones. This year for the first time, we have one in our own yard:
The blossoms are short-lived, but with a dozen or more open now the plant is in its glory. Many thanks to the neighbor who waters this for us when we are away.
We have a few more weeks before our next trip and are hoping that the yellow cactus will bloom before we leave. If it does, I'll be right out there with my camera, even if it is 110F.
