#1 is a Cholla (choya) Cactus. One of the nastiest cactuses in the desert!
#4 foreground is a Prickly Pear. Nasty enough, but candy and jelly can be made from the flower pods. Really good!
I hope you like!

Nice work. The first shot looks like a scene from a horror movie, the last one wins the prize.

Really nice pictures. I always forget that we have to "introduce" non-desert-rats to our beloved plants.

Very nicely done Chief. Some of the nasty ones can be photogenic, and you've done a wonderful job capturing them.

Great set, those cholla will run you down and jump on you.
Yes, they will! And they won't even apologize!
And they aren't afraid to leave calling cards, either!
