It is the beginning of a New Year! Time to share a gorgeous fuscia cactus flower from my backyard.I am fortunate that this cactus continues to bloom each year. It is called echinocereus stramineus.
Nature provides us such beautiful treasures to enjoy!

Flowers in your back yard? Beautiful. Give me four months and I will have some. Happy New Year.
I can DREAM can't I? 10 inches of snow here today! Makes me long for summer.
That is a wonder of nature and what a joy to find it in your own yard!
Thanks for greeting, Julie, and we wish you a new year filled with happiness, joy and prosperity.
Ahhhh. Such color. When I look out my window everything is trimmed in white.
What an amazing flower! When I look closely, it's almost like a flower within a flower. Happy New Year!
Amazing beauty from the desert! Lovely!
Your photo yesterday was awesome, too!
Desert flowers are such an inspiration to me. And so are you, Julie. Thanks for pioneering into David Lorell country and bringing me luck.
I am always amazed by the stunning beauty of Scottsdale every time I visit SDP. You're the perfect vehicle to convey it, being such an amazing artist with that camera.
I wish you another delightful year in '10. How will we say that... just "Ten"? Sounds funny to me. We had "Oh Nine" last year, maybe "Oh Ten" now because there's still a zero before it. Here I go rambling again... but it was well worth it...
Thanks Julie

That is so beautiful Julie! Happy new year to you. Hope 2010 is super fab for you!!!!
I like the idea of flowers in winter :) (Well, Your winter weather is quite different, than our, in Poland.)
What a beautiful color this is. Hope you are ready for the New Year because here we are!
Cactus flowers are so luscious!
I understand that cacti only bloom very briefly once a year so it must be a great joy to see it.
Beautiful flower Julie.
It is bleak and cold here in Yorkshire.
Have a wonderful New Year.
