Cacti on Parade

For the past few weeks I’ve been taking my camera on the walks I take. Each day I’ve been snapping a few photos of the cacti and flowers I see. I’ve tried to identify as many as possible. They are a testimony to God’s creation. He can take something prickly and often times not so pretty and create flowers of incredible beauty. Enjoy the show.

If you click on the photos, you can view a larger image and some of them have captions that give you the name of the cactus.


What do you think? Do these blooms deserve the title “Rose of the Desert?”
