I thought I'd post some cactus flowers, photos I took at my visit to the Rancho Santa Ana Botanical Gardens, also my post #3 on my photos from that visit.

I always scroll all the way to the bottom of your blog because it gives me the opportunity (excuse)to revel in your music. Love the squirrel and lady bug photos. We have very few black squirrels in Nebraska, so they intrique me. The cactus photos are gorgeous.
Prickly pears grow everywhere. They are amazing. Arizona, Cape Cod, Florida -- we have a bunch in our front yard -- but they don't have any needles ... or just very fine ones.
Would love to have those cactus. They don't require maintenance and they make good fence against the intruders. That's what I did in one of the places we lived and the naughty children in our neighbourhood did notice of my motive. Clever kids they were!
Anyhow, how beautiful they can be? I mean the flowers!

These are wonderful! But what I really love is that header flower! Wonderful!
Your photos are lovely. Cactus flowers are so amazing against all the spiky thorns!
Wonderful photos! Cactus flowers are so different from cactus to cactus - and it is amazing how these plants can grow such beauty!
These are all lovely, Saxy, but the delicate color of the first one just slayed me.

Cacti is something I really love to see when they bloom like this. Thanks TB.
Fantastic cactus flowers. Such beautiful blooms. Thank you very much for sharing them. Have a great week!
I never see anything like these pretty flowers where I live. So to me, they are quite exotic. Thanks for sharing.

Having to think about it, I've not seen blooms on cactus live before even though my late granny had lots of them. They're beautiful :)
Happy Monday!!!
As always, great photos.
Beautiful cactus flowers.
Great photos!
beautiful bloom of cactus flowers. they are so cute.
I really like your photos. The flowers are great, too :)
What beautiful set of Cacti. They are so rare, and even if they thrive so well here in Philippines, I've not seen as elegant looking as these.
BTW, I love the new header again.
T: Cactus really bloom beautifully.
I'm always amazed at the lovely flowers produced by cactus plants.
Hugs and blessings,
More lovely photos! The first one looks a little like a rose, except the texture of the petals is different.
