Happy Cactus Monday

Beavertail Cactus (Opuntia basilaris)

For more colorful cacti, visit Terri's Painted Daisies.

The more ugly, older, more cantankerous, more ill and poorer I become, the more I try to make amends by making my colors more vibrant, more balanced and beaming.

~ Vincent van Gogh

  3. Yeah, they're pretty ostentatious, aren't they? Definitely hard to miss in all the more drab colors of the desert.

  5. What a beautiful color and so many blooms on one cactus! I really like the quote you used too. I am now reading a collection of VanGogh's letters. Most were written to his brother Theo. HCM.
