Winter in Arizona - my prime cactus flowering season

Fantastic plants and flowers!

Not only are the pictures of cactus flowers themselves absolutely fantastic, but the quality of the photographs themselves is beyond just excellent. Nice composition, good Focus, high resolution. Thanks for posting these pictures, they're great.

Micranthocereus polyanthus ssp. alvinii:




..... at least that is what they are supposed to be.

Beautiful flowers James!

We use adjectives such as beautiful and extraordinary to such an extent that they no longer have the weight that they should have in describing things. Nonetheless, they are all we have. And so I will use them yet one more time, in agreement with others that have replied to these postings you have made here, that these flowers are indeed extraordinarily beautiful.

[ElieEstephane]

There are limited times when one can say beautiful plants, flowers etc without sounding redundant. However the feeling is honest.

Thank you - they gladden my days.

Again, thank you Wayne. These postings are my homage to these wonderful cacti and the glorious flowers that they produce.

"Glorious"... what an extraordinarily appropriate adjective.
