Arizona Desert Cactus Photo

How do you like this! Beautiful isn't it. I took this picture of my cactus that I have had for years and years. It only blooms at night and in the morning the rising sun shrivels up the flower.

This cactus has such pretty flower that as you can see are huge. They smell great, just like gardenia's!

It will get anywhere from 3 to 15 flowers on it at one time. To be honest I don't know the true name for this cactus, but I thinks it's called a night bloomer?

I just love desert wild plants and tree's, I think they look so unique and wonderful. They need very little water to survive and when it rains and they do get a large amoutn of water they seem to burst with color and flowers no matter the season.
