Arizona trip

Post by RayC »

Our youngest daughter moved to Arizona last fall. For our first visit there I thought it would be nice to catch some cactus blooming (Hopefully before the heat really settled in). There is a rather long period of time when the various ones flower so I tried to catch the end period of some while trying to see the beginning of saguaro's in bloom. Didn't due to bad on timing I guess. First pics are from Sonora desert museum in Tucson.

Thanks for sharing! I'm a big fan of opuntia blooms

Awesome views, it's always pleasure to visit Arizona!

First time see some of those with flowers, like Corynopuntia invicta (2992) & Opuntia pycnantha (2999).
If your cacti mess in your job just forget about the job.
