Photo: Cactus Wedding Bouquet

Here is a Cactus Wedding Bouquet from an Argentine Giant cactus in my backyard.

All of these flowers bloomed all at once, and then you know how the story ends, they die within about 24 hours or so.

I was lucky to catch seeing them as they started blooming at night so I ran out with my camera to capture the moment.

And, enjoy our photos of the Splendor of Yosemite National Park at Viva la Voyage!

    This cactus must be shy and bloomed at night, thinking that it would not be noticed. It had to be sneakier than that to escape your camera.
