The two cactus flowers are from the Echinocereus Huitcholensis cactus.
I showed a close up of the pistil of this cactus flower yesterday.
It is always amazing that a cactus that struggles in the desert heat produce such beautiful blooms that generally last a day or less.

I love these flowers, absolutely beautiful. I really like orange flowers and these are gorgeous. Have a great weekend.
I agree, Julie. These are gorgeous.
Gorgeous! Beautiful! Colourful! Just what I need at the beginning of a day that looks like it might just be as cold and dismal as the previous days. There's a bit of sunshine so I guess there's hope!
This photo gives even more of an appreciation for how detailed the macro photo yesterday is.
Such interesting beautiful flowers! I noticed this flower once because of their long flower stems.
Beautiful blooms!
Perfect description Julie!
I am sure the bees are going mad looking at this beauty.
I love the vivid orange! Beautiful.
Hope to see you on Norwich Daily Photo soon. Have a great weekend!
Really gorgeous.!
usually a surprising contrast to the cactus plant itself...
