More Cactus Flowers

More Cactus Flowers

As anyone who ever attempted to eat The Trough at Farrell’s Ice Cream Parlour will know, it is possible to have too much of a good thing.

When I found that I’d taken over forty cactus flower photos (and those were just the keepers) I realized that putting all of them in a single post would be too much. Here are the rest.

This seems rather haphazard to me. Very much cactus behavior.
If there weren’t a flower on top I would say this is the egg sack that the creature sprung out of in the movie Alien.
Notice that the spines grow out of the top and then spread out around the circumference.
I love that barrel cactus flowers look like little pineapples.

Absolutely spine-fully beauteous! Almost as much danger taking these pictures
as photographing bees or porcupines, I would imagine! Very courageous of you.
And excellent depth of focus, by the way. I admire your attention to detail!
