Blooming Cactus

 



I was taking a photo of this saguaro cactus when I noticed the bloom on the cactus next to it.  

















So, I pointed the camera toward the cactus with the blooms.  It's called a toothpick cactus and it is one of the few that bloom all year long.
















Then I decided to zoom in on the the bloom itself.  It looks like those tiny ants are enjoying the bloom as much as I did.

Quite pretty.

I bet those bugs are happy to find it! It's probably not easy to find nectar at this time of year. (Assuming that's what they're eating.)

Beautiful flower on such a prickly plant, Sharon.
