I discovered a new sculpture in Scottsdale located in front of the new Scottsdale Museum of the West. It's called "Diamond Bloom" by Curtis Pittman.
The description for the piece says:
"Delicately emerging from the landscape Diamond Bloom serves as an icon marking the southern edge of Scottsdale's arts district. Reminiscent of a cactus flower, the sculpture's radiant changing qualities of light shadow and color contribute to its dynamic botanical form."
I'm not sure it reminds me of a cactus flower but, I do like it's form.

It's very well suited to its surroundings!
It's really great. Modern but not too imposing.

It's fantastic Sharon but when I saw the first image I thought more eucalyptus leaf than cactus, what do you think ?
I like it! Kind of flowery and kind of spiny. I can see the resemblance!
I too like it and I can see the resembling to opening of a bloom. But what's the significance of the "diamond" portion of the title?
Looks more like the cactus than the flower, with all those sharp points. It is graceful looking though.
I don't see cactus flower either but I do like it!
Now that I've seen a few cacti, I can actually imagine it. It's surprisingly (for me) nice!
I like it too. Your top photo is super nice.
It is visually pleasing- very good for photography!
A wonderful site for an impaling!
I like it too. So many different angles to look at it from.
You know more about cactus flowers than I do, but it mainly reminds me of large curving pieces of metal.
That's pretty cool, but my first association was with a cactus' sharp spines.
Intesting. It's almost futuristic looking.
Interesting sculpture, I like your first shot too !
I am glad this is being so well received and really appreciate the comments. Thank you Sharon!
