A Surprise Bloom

 

I took a walk at the Desert Botanical Garden and was totally surprised see a red torch cactus with a bloom on it.  This cactus usually blooms in the spring so this is quite unexpected.  But, very welcome.  

I wonder if this cactus was inspired by all the holiday decorations at the garden.  

There were more than the usual decorations all around the garden when I was there so that means, I'll have lots of holiday photos to share in the days to come.
