Showing Off


I spotted this beauty by the side of the road on a residential street in Paradise Valley.  What a show-off.  Displaying all those blooms at one time it managed to stop me in my tracks.  I believe this is an Argentinian Giant but, I don't believe I've ever seen one with yellow blooms before.  Simply majestic.

  1. That IS dramatic! I wonder if they feed it something to get it to bloom so profusely. Do cacti need fertilizer? I don't even know!

  2. Wow, and my two small ones inside, looks even smaller when I look at this beautiful one OUTSIDE where you are living.

    But one day I hope mine will grow and be big, with to without flowers.

  6. I'm impressed!
    The red paint on the sidewalks was some kind of marking to show where utility lines are buried under the sidewalk - probably some kind of construction going to happen!

  12. Wow! I am no cactus expert, but I know I have never seen so many blooms at one time or such big blooms.
