These cactus buds probably are a type of food, which is probably why evolution has resulted in the thorns growing right up the buds to protect them from people or animals picking or eating them.
Love this about cacti, full of texture and color. Desert is a fascinating ecosystem. I am learning more and more about it each day. What a role these green prickly plants play!

I like photos on Your blog -- there are so colorful. And I look through the window -- only white, black, grey and gray-blue sky...
How pretty!
