That pale lemony yellow of the flower is extra special--dreamy almost and then the thorns that say--Keep away! MB

These are glowingly magnificent, especially the yellow one.

@Tapirgal: It's the same bloom 'before and after'! :-)

This lives up to its name Jose as it is magnificent.

Omigod! Your floral photos are just stunning. Have you ever tried selling them to the appropriate magazines?

Or these could certainly become part of an art show.

They are magnificent, JM!

Cactus lyrics... by Davie Bowie

Sitting here wishing on a cement floor
Just wishing that I had just something you wore

Bloody your hands on a cactus tree
Wipe it on your dress and send it to me

Sitting here wishing on a cement floor
Just wishing that I had just something you wore
