Description
The Arizona, Sonoran Desert's Prickly Pear Cactus, is one of my favorite cactus. They only bloom in the springtime. Here is seen the Engelmann Prickly Pear Cactus, Opuntia engelmannii, perhaps the most widespread of all prickly pear cacti. The spines are shorter than the Tulip Prickly Pear cactus I have also featured, and point downward.
This capture was taken right in my own desert garden of joy. These cactus blooms remind me of my favorite flower, the rose. Both the rose and "This Prickly Pair," needs, one to focus on the beauty of the petals, and not on the thorns.
