Re: Contest 78 : Pink or Purple Flowers
I think this may satisfy both pink and purple theme this month. Mammillaria guelzowiana, as it bloomed last August.
Catch a falling star--but don't try it with a cactus!
Re: Contest 78 : Pink or Purple Flowers
This plant really went over the top in 2011 - after that it has only managed to produce a few flowers each season.

I found this plant nearby of Lake Powell in Arizona.
It was the very first time I've ever seen a Sclerocactus parviflorus in flower.

Only when the last tree has died, the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize that we cannot eat money.
