~Cactus Flower #1~

~Echinocereus triglochidiatus~

Or the much more generic name of the 'Hedgehog Cactus'.
These large flowers, about 3' across, are just loaded with pollen.
So bees and other insects just love them!
Though my camera lens didn't appreciate it much. ;o))

I have two links to photographs of the entire cactus plant.

Hedgehog #2

Thanks for coming by!
And not much PS-ing here!

I also deleted yesterdays image,
then back-blipped /re-posted a new one,
so please take a look, if you are so inclined.
