Here are a few blooming cacti I saw at the Tucson Botanical Gardens.
This little guy had quite the crown of flowers amongst its thorns.
It seems to be a fluke as its peers had the flowers growing randomly all over them.
This one had some large yellow blooms with a few buds yet to open. I wish I had taken down the names of all these cacti but I was rushing around trying to make sure my toddler wasn't accidentally touching the sharp thorns.
This little guy has smaller thorns and smaller yellow blooms. It also has a white fuzz on top.
Speaking of fuzz, this one has quite a bit of fuzz to guard its subtly pink buds. Nice an monochrome and the gardeners put some gray rocks next to them to fit with their theme.
I was hoping to see the Santa-Rita cacti blooming but their buds weren't quite there yet. Their bright yellow blooms compliment their purple color nicely and the blooms get large.
What in the world is this thing? It is some kind of cacti and I'm not sure if it is blooming. It reminds me of the fungi I find in Illinois.
This one doesn't appear to be blooming but it has quite a few tiny little versions of itself budding out all over the place.
The lizards are coming out of hibernation. They look a bit skinny but hopefully the blooms will attract some insects for them to eat.
That's all for now, thanks for looking :-)
