It's the time of year that cacti in the Mesa, AZ area start to bloom. These are in our backyard neighbor's yard. I've shot pictures of the 1st one several times in the past. Don't think I realized the base of the thorns was red. This growth wasn't there 2 days ago when I was out scouting. The blossoms in the 3rd shot were the only ones still open enough to see inside. The rest, about 15, had closed already.
