Description
The Arizona Sonoran Desert’s Purple Prickly Pear Cactus is my favorite cactus. They only bloom in the springtime. This capture was right in my own desert paradise. Their flowers resemble a rose, and roses are my favorite flowers! This bloom is not fully opened, showing such beautiful layers to the flower. The lighting was such to give it a blue hue, hence reminding me of the beautiful love song and music, "Love Is Blue!"

Beautiful work, lovely flower! l/f
Janet Marie replied:
Thank you, Jasna. I really appreciate your wonderful comment. My favorite prickly pear cactus flowers. The Santa Rita prickly pear cactus or purple prickly pear cactus, truly are lovely. With shallow depth of field photography, I could share an intimate moment, with the colors on the cool side, gave it a blue feel. Hence, my title. They have a look of roses, my favorite flowers. This cactus needs no help from me, as roses would.
