Description
This little Hedgehog cactus grouping, is just outside the back door to my art studio. The buds usually take turn flowering a little at a time, but this one decided to really show off and bloom all at once (although still more to come)! A wet winter makes for a very happy plant.
I invite you to see my Arizona Sonoran Desert, "Cactus Flower Beauty" collection.

Revisiting and sharing this to Facebook. Hoping we can see these in our desert acre this spring of 2021. The drought conditions may say otherwise, along with the critters who are biting off the buds before they bloom, and the bunnies who chomp off all the petals. These are beautiful dear, Jerry! LF

October is ''Breast Cancer Awareness Month!'' ''THINK PINK'' a reminder that early detection saves lives! In "BEAUTY OF ARIZONA" I added a discussion thread in honor of the occasion~Think Pink in Arizona-Early Detection Saves Lives! I have shared some favorites that fit this theme. Thank you Jerry, for this one, as I really like the message with your title, ''ALL TOGETHER NOW.'' It is hard not to ''THINK PINK'' with hedgehog every spring!
Jerry Bokowski replied:
I am so thankful that early detection saved your life, Janet Marie. Six surgeries and a life threatening infection you had the fight through with such courage and determination. So glad that You are still here, sharing your gorgeous photography and encouraging and promoting the work of others. Thank you so much for the feature!

We both love these little HOGS Janet Marie. They are among the first cacti that bloom each Spring. We had a perfect winter rainy season and thus one of the best Spring bloom seasons ever! Thank you so very much for your always gracious comments!
