Baja this banner caught my attention right away. I was thinking cactus bloom but was not sure 🤔! Impressive banner and full size photo. I tip my hat to you.

Thank you for the kind words. Smiling The image sort of demanded to be served as a banner slice. This cactus is a really vigorous bloomer once it gets started, and those were the very first flowers it produced. I am partial to hairy plants and especially hairy flowers. They look so fabulous in the sun.

Dirt, 1.67? I had to even that up.

Great banner, Baja!! The whole pic is unbelievable! It's amazing how pretty those "mean" cacti can be.
