The flower bud may look similar, but the Egyptian woman in the hieroglyphic is holding the flower stem in her hand. I don't think she would hold a cactus flower that way.
Interesting how the ancient Egyptians had a sense for color coordinating the aqua color of the flower bud, the hair piece, and the woman's dress and jewelry.

What beautiful designs in nature!
I love these blossoms. My cacti like this have been blooming quite often this summer.
Good eye on seeing the similarities.
Now that you said it I see it, too. I'm glad someone has something blooming in their yard around here. LOL
They do look very exotic!
Mother Nature sure is a wonderful artist.
Cacti blooms are always compellingly lovely and so delicate.
You are definitely right, Sharon! And it never occurred to me...
