"Breathe the sweetness that hovers in August."
―Denise Levertov
The prickly pear cactus and its blooms have shown up here a couple of times and I have to tell you that I am just awestruck that each one of these different prickly pear cacti can have a different flower. Some have yellow flowers, others have yellow with a red center and another type of prickly pear can have just red flowers. Nature is AMAZING! This image was photographed this spring at the Botanical Garden here in Phoenix. At that time there were blooms everywhere and the desert was bursting with transformation. So, today I present to you Fire Ducky.
As always, I hope that this cactus bloom will bring a smile to your face and brighten every day!

June 2022 Calendar
The June desktop calendar has arrived!
June is here and the June wallpaper is full of colorful spring cacti! These purple prickly pear, Opuntia macrocentra, are one of my favorite cactus because the pads are full of greens and purples, and the flowers are soft yellow with the lower parts of the flower a bold red. There is just color everywhere, no way to go wrong with that! This type of cactus grows in specific areas such as Arizona, New Mexico, Southwestern parts of Texas, and Northwestern parts of Mexico, so if you live around there keep an eye out for these beauties in the spring when they are full of blooms!
Happy June!

What a fantastic time of year! The cactus are in bloom and it is sooooooooo beautiful! I have never fully appreciated the beauty of the desert, in the nearly 30 years that I have lived here, but it finally clicked, and now the desert is calling me to come out and photograph!
Enjoy the prickly pear cactus this month!

April Calendar
The April calendar has arrived!
At the beginning of March, I got an annual pass to the Phoenix Botanical Garden. Wondering around in the garden I stumbled upon the succulent section and learned about the wide variety, twenty different kinds according to google, of aloe vera there are! Many of the aloes are in bloom right now and I find it fascinating how their blooms are different in shape and color. I discovered my love for the aloe rudikoppe, which was also called a Little Red Ridinghood aloe, and am now on the lookout for one for my yard!
May these blooms bring you joy throughout April!
