For the third or fourth time since early spring, my Bishop’s Cap cactus in the courtyard is blooming again. I just love springtime in the desert! Click on the image to enlarge.
Compass Cactus Flower
The first of many yellow flowers is now open on the native compass cactus up on the hill in our back yard. I will post close-ups as the crown of flowers opens up. Click on the image to enlarge.

Orange and Yellow Prickly Pear Flowers
I found these two flowers growing side by side on a prickly pear cactus down at the end of the road. They appear to be growing on the same paddle which makes me believe that the cactus makes two different colored flowers. Maybe I’ll get a paddle and transplant it to our garden after spring is over.

Spring Desert Cactus Flowers Slideshow
Verna has been taking photos of cactus flowers around and near our home. I put together a slideshow featuring her photos of orange and yellow prickly pear flowers, a pink cholla flower and an Argentine giant.
Delphinium Flower
This beautiful delphinium flower was for sale at the garden shop. I don’t really have a flower garden at home, so we didn’t buy it even though it’s so pretty. Click on the image to enlarge.
