You really have to look from a distance to appreciate the size of this cactus - and the height at which it displays its flowers.
Then you get a bit closer and look up - really crane your neck - and there they are.
Like the other cactus flower I photographed last month - one day of beauty and they're gone.
Extra-ordinary!
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking thorn birds.
ReplyDeleteAmazing. My Mum used to collect cacti but they were tiny and she kept them on the living room window sill!
ReplyDeleteMaurice - you must have seen some of these, surely?
ReplyDeleteThorn birds, Shirley? I must read the book again. and Ros - your mum would have difficulty fitting these in her house, let alone on her windowsill,
We don't have big cacti like this where I live, but I've seen some similar ones in Arizona. These are great pictures...I love the flowers.
