This cactus was photographed at Huntington Library in the Pasadena, CA area. It is probably the spikiest cactus ever! And amid the spikes are delicate little yellow flowers.! 12/23/18 Judith Sparhawk
This close up image of an interesting cactus was photographed at the Living Desert, Palm Desert, CA. I liked the color variations and the star-like formations of the spines. 3/10/19 Judith Sparhawk
At the Living Desert, Palm Desert, CA, they have extensive gardens with cactus and other plants from many places in the world. At one point I noticed this bunch of small very spiny cacti--something about it looked really cute to me. I've not usually thought of very prickly plants as being cute, but that was the word that came to mind when I saw these. 2/26/19 Judith Sparhawk
