but it was really a plethora of buds! These cactus are part of the landscaping on the corner of Ray and Val Vista in Gilbert, AZ. There were so many buds that I thought there was a fungus growing on them. But, when I went back with my camera and long lens, it was just a myriad of buds. And, by then some of the flowers had opened and the bees were almost drunk with pollen!
Quite honestly, I don't know what kind of cactus this is. They aren't saguaro, I know that!
