By climbing up on the motorhome roof I could get some photos of some of the cactus too tall to take from the ground. |
|
The Palo Verde trees, which often grow next to Saguaro, were also in full bloom while we were at PIcacio Peak. |

Bees like Saguaro flowers! |

One of the Prickly Pear cactus in our back yard has pale yellow flowers, almost white in the sunlight. |

We have one large Cholla cactus in the back yard that has been blooming for the last couple weeks. |

The Cholla is about 7' tall, and as you can see is just loaded with flowers. |
