Gorgeous color in these beautiful cactus flowers.

Janet Marie replied:

Thank you so much Greta! This particular barrel cactus (which is no more) produced some the most beautiful blooms every spring in my desert acre of joy.

Wow! This is just beautiful!

Thank you Lynda! I am glad you think so. This fish-hook barrel cactus gave me some lovely moments every summer.

Wonderful burst of color here - love the way the thorns of this barrel cactus surround and set off the flowers, almost like a halo.

Janet Marie replied:

Thank you Nikolyn for your wonderful words expressed about our Arizona Sonoran Desert barrel cactus flowers, that grace us with their beauty every summer.

This is so gorgeous! I love it when the deserts bloom.

Janet Marie replied:

Thank you, Bunny. I love it when the desert blooms as well. I get most of cactus blooms in the spring, but these bloom with summer rains.

Hello beautiful Janet, Your gorgeous cacti gallery reminds me of a timeless universal truth : Beauty is often found in some of the roughest places, even among thorns.

Janet Marie replied:

All the flowering plants even ones with thorns, need this flowering process. In order for the cactus to continue to grow and reach its potential, flowers are needed to attract the pollinators. Probably mostly done by the native Cactus Bee and butterflies. In order for these pollinators to want to approach this plant, they have to be showy and beautiful. Ah, the wisdom of the Creator, and this assured process on continuation of the plant, we get the added bonus of these beautiful blooms. What love and generosity for this MARVELoUS gift! With 350,000 flowering plants worldwide, if we wanted to do a study project to get to know each flowering plant, 1 per day, it would take 958 years. Hence, this shows we were meant to live longer than a mere 70 or 80 years. When we get to view the natural world, we are actually looking into the mind and heart of our loving Creator. Sadly, this cactus is no longer a part of my Sonoran Desert acre. I miss all the joy it brought me, and yet that joy will continue through my photography of it.

Janet Marie replied:

Thank you Bijan for sharing such a wonderful comment, it evoking feelings that you shared in your comment. It is what I hope to do.
