Ruby Tuesday - Cactus Blooms



I have been stalking my neighbors' gardens for inspiration for my own garden and was happy to find this cactus in full bloom. Thank you so much for sharing in Ruby Tuesday, a photo meme to celebrate the Color, Red.

Lovely! I don't think I've ever seen a cactus bloom.

I don't want to jinx it, but a few years ago I bought a tiny baby dying cactus on clearance at a store and it has since been in constant ORANGE bloom and growing like crazy!

Ooh, beautiful! Reminds me of my stay at a horse ranch in Arizona a few years ago. These were everywhere. Thanks Martha!

Great shot. I lived in AZ for a while but never got to see the desert in bloom. Cactus flowers always seem like little miracles to me... but then all flowers seem like (are!) little miracles, I guess.

Beautiful! I miss the blooming cacti. You can buy them at Home.Depot here, but they usually rot in a month or two. The real thing, right out of the ground, is the best!
