I missed the deadline.
Would have entered this photo taken in April in Joshua Tree NP of Coryphantha alversonii, which adorned itself with a bloom of a wildflower.

Too bad Jordi, just keep the picture until next December....
Blue is a flowercolour every Coryphanta should take into consideration. Fits in very well
