Blooming

I got a phone call from my neighbor today. He said, "Come over now and bring your camera." I had no idea what to expect. Here is what I found...



This year has been an unusual one for the Arizona desert. It has been a fairly cool and long spring with lots of rain (at least compared to our normal rainfall.) I have learned that this is the perfect condition to make the desert flower. This was a spectacular display.



I can't believe how many blossoms are on each cacti.



This picture looks like I oriented it wrong, but I haven't. It is exactly as I saw it.
