just back from the desert and was really impressed by the variety of cactus blooming this time of year. i figured spring was the usual bloom period,
but since summer is the growth time, maybe it makes sense to bloom before winter sets in.
as seen sunday-

there were so many flies? around this bloom, and it was so high that my wife and i couldn't tell is these were seeds until we viewed on the computer.

Too bad you couldn't collect and germinate em! just think in about 70-100 years you could have a giant in your yard!

The third one is Pitahya. This pink flower is where the fruit comes from.
This is the time of year that cactus bloom.
Nice shots, Woody!
