    Like the angle, Sharon. Cacti blossoms are so varied and beautiful when in full bloom.

    As I was driving through our neighborhood the other day seeing all of the saguaros blooming, with flowers too high up to photograph closely, I thought that the Desert Botanical Garden should put up a platform next to a saguaro so people could take close up photos of the flowers. You have done the next best thing.

    I love your new template! I just knew this was going to be a saguaro...because that's exactly what I thought when I looked at the one in my yard yesterday. It's wearing crowns. :)

    Such an unusual looking plant Sharon, well to me here is Australia it is! Love the angle you've taken with this, imagine when all the white flowers open!

    There's nothing more beautiful or more unexpected than a cactus in bloom.
