Two small cactus in bloom. On the left, a small round cactus with a shiny pink flower with a yellow center (species unknown). On the right, a small cactus with a dense group of bright yellow flowers. It has five prominent ridges. "Bishops hat" Astrophytum myriostigma
I'm still amazed that plants that grow in such harsh conditions can produce flowers like this. 🌵

Deep orange globe mallow / Desert mallow / Apricot mallow (Sphaeralcea ambigua) in rocks with rock wall.
One of our first little friends to bloom in spring: Apricot mallow / globe mallow (Sphaeralcea ambigua). We have several acquired at different times, including some rescued from development. This one is unusually deep orange. #nativeplants #desertplants

Pretty sure she’s an aloe… and she knows it 🌿
Clean lines. Soft edges.
Low water, high drama (the good kind).
Desert plants just built different.

A saguaro cactus with a tiny new arm growing on an old broken off arm.
Day 6 of my Feb Photo Challenge. I went outside and saw a woodpecker on our saguaro, but, to my great disappointment, it flew off before I could get a good photo. It did point me in a beautiful direction though, because a saguaro is a gorgeous sight.

The cones, branches, and bark have a ton of ethnobotanical uses, from disinfecting wounds to helping with childbirth. My favorite is using the boughs to cover your tracks so that death does not follow you.

This isn't my photo but I've taken images like this on my tours of America. These cacti grow BIG. There is nothing like a morning drive through the desert with the sun just rising.
