Cacti...

It's your morning dose of desert wildflowers, this time of three species all found in the little no-name canyon just south of Box Canyon on the east side of S-2. These photos were all taken last Saturday.

At right are the flower buds on a prickly pear, just about to burst into bloom. Hopefully it will still be in bloom when I return next week...

Very few of the larger barrels were in bloom – perhaps four individuals out of hundreds. The best of them is definitely yet to come...
