Bill my compliments. What an outstanding display of shear Flower Power!! 
Always a joy to see.
I haven't been posting many shots as we have had a week and a half of unseasonably wet weather. A record for this time of year by the way. The flowers are not opening all the way, do to cloudy wet conditions . At least the fire danger is low right now. I am counting my blessings. Besides how can I compete with your overwhelming show of force.

Thanks for the compliments everyone 
Come on John, tell Mr. Sunshine to get after it. I can't take Darryl by myself
Well, getting sunshine here so I guess I'll post a few more
Heres one tough and big O. phaeacantha.
The tough guy has a nice side though.
Have this big boy as O. engelmannii but not 100% sure. Check ID section for detailed pics.
The flower
OK, time for another O. icanttellya but worthy of a spot in the garden. Doesn't really like my winters so measure are being taking to ensure one remains in existence.
More crowed than a New York subway

Bill,
the blooming abilities of the mackensensii are really amazing and that pink noid is beautiful.
John P,
below is a pic of the upper portion of my C. munzii(its way over my head). To me it grows much more upright than any of the five clones of spinosior that I have and tends to keep a more "tiered" appearance, as unless damaged doesn't do a lot of extra branching on the horizontal growth.
