I'm lucky to be able to spend a small part of the winter in Arizona. It's about 40 miles north of the border and just 20 miles north of Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. I enjoy taking photos of the desert southwest, cacti blooms are my favorite subject. I will share photos of life in the desert as we run across interesting things like wild burros and the beautiful spring flowers in the desert. Yes, those are wild burros at the top of the page and taken near Burro Gap.
Yet another type of Cereus. I was told this is called Big Bertha. This blossom is a good 6" to 7" in diameter. Fragrant too. Only blooms for 1 day.

Very pretty, and pretty big too! Nice photo.
I have a cactus that will climb to the top of a tree..blooms only at night with huge blooms similar to this but more yellow.
