This prickly cactus is shaped like spiked elbow macaroni with magenta flowers rising from its curves.
Acacia is yellow and looks like tiny bottle brushes.
Scared datura is a giant trumpet-like flower without any petals - one continuous flow like an 1800s belle skirt.
A two-armed saguaro buddies up to a blooming ocotillo, with its medusa-like, twiggy branches.
For those who think the desert is "dead" and worth sacrificing to foreign mining ... this is just along ONE portion of the wash near my house. #SonoranDesert 1) Hedgehog #cactus 2) #Acacia 3) Sacred #Datura 4) iconic #saguaro and #ocotillo
