I completely missed the last contest, so this time I am putting in an entry right away.

Yellow flowers from summer - that topic makes me think this Opuntia is a great fit....

Now for something completely different. Is September still summer?

Since it's before the 21st, absolutely! Here's my entry, an Astrophytum capricorne var. senilis from September 8:
A little story behind this photo -- as I watched the days go by to see when the bud would pop, I figured on the 8th that the flower was still a day away. Then at about 2 p.m. it started opening. I got my "money shot" an hour later, as I was able to catch the play of light and shadow at just the right moment. The flower looks almost luminous. So many great flower photos came out of my 2012 growing season, but I think the combination of beauty and composition makes this one the best.

With that said, I have some really stiff competition here, don't I? Best of luck, everyone!

Notocactus (Parodia) leninghausii last August.

What the hack. I might aswell try with this one. Yellow from two summers back.
