Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana. And little beetles like these cactus flowers. It amazes me that such tiny barrel cactus can produce such big blossoms. None of the barrels in this pot is any bigger than an orange, and the blossoms are nearly that big themselves. After maybe two days at most, these flowers will wilt and fade away. Next year we’ll see a repeat performance.

Wow, what a GREAT photo! Nice composition.
I saw both that plant and the orange one down on the rock below in bloom when we were at Ahwahnee earlier this year, during all the unseasonable rains. So it does happen more than once a year.
