Cactus Flower

I found this minuscule cactus blossom in the
Desert Pavilion, one of several year-round
habitats at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.

Ruby Tuesday

These cactus flowers bloom in the desert
habitat at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.  I don't
know what they are but they're native to Africa
(and those stalks are at least six feet tall).

I seriously doubt that any desert creatures
would try to munch on these tiny cactus
blooms—not more than once anyway.

Mellow yellow/Macro Monday

I went to see the marine iguanas and
fur seals on the island of Santa Cruz—
this flowering cactus was just a bonus.
