About Not two different flowers, but from those red spiky buds come this yellow flower! You can see some red spike on some of the yellow petals. I think this is in the Prickly Pear family cactus, hopefully Don Loseky will let me know for sure, since he lives in the desert.
This was photographed today in Encinitas at the Quail Gardens. :)

Very nice little cactus,good composition. I like how the grass make an aray behind the flower.


Don Loseke   {K:32503} 4/24/2004
It sure is in the prickley pear family. They can be pink and yellow blooms depending on the species. The plant in the background makes a great background for the lovely cactus bloom. Great work Lori. Don.

Gosh Lori ... this is a wonderful composition! From soft to prickly, to fans and spikes, and intriguing aspects too. You have captured it beautifully.

Hi Lori, the "explosion" created by the leafs in the background is a very creative touch. Very fitting with the cactus. And there I'm stuck again.... Well, you know how I feel about florals, and although the last one in this series is stunning, I do find this less eloquent.... Not to worry, that's just me....;o)

Cheers,

Hugo

Great composition.
I remember a very diverse collection of Opuntia's there at Quail. Great place to visit.
You can eat the fruits off these, if you're careful. Very tasty.

Lori Stitt   {K:74437} 7/14/2004
Hi Jason,
Really? But I don't think Quail gardens would like me eating the fruit right off their plants do you? I know, I'll just tell them you said it's OK! :)

Thanks for the info, and glad you like this one!
Lori :)


jcs nosuchreality   {K:971} 7/14/2004
Uh, if you're really serious about it, you can find one that no one would object to you mauling and take a pad. They root very easily. Put it in a pot. It just might take a while for the fruit.
Although, it'd probably be easier to just get some at a store, free of those nasty stickers.
