May not be the best shot - it's an old print I scanned in for the contest - but it is one of my favs.
Opuntia fulgida on the way to Organ Pipe NM. This was so large, I had to stand by it to show the size.

OK, I realized that I could go on forever trying to pic one favorite, so I am just going to post my "Favorite-for-the-moment" - My first flower on T. erectoclada:

I've taken over 10,000 pictures in the last year alone. Favorite is definitely not easy. This is currently my top spot anytime. At the top of Hellskloof Pass in the Richtersveld. Aloe pearsonii as far as you can see. This is an endangered plant.

I don´t know the name of it - but thinking of it and it´s name for so often has made it one of my favorites.
Second good point about the plant is that it has a living moisture indicator growing in the same pot...
Eriosyce spec. (aff. crispa)
