Cactus Blossom

Posted by Monte Stevens (Westerville, United States) on 28 March 2008 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

This is an orange blossom on a cactus near my parent’s house in Gold Canyon. I'm not sure what cactus blossom it is as I have very little knowledge of them. The color is so brilliant it caught my attention as I drove by. I stopped the car and took several images. Cactus is a rugged and hostile plant but yet the blossoms are so beautiful. I'm a bit disappointed in the focus but the beauty of the blossom makes it a keeper for me.
