Blooming Cactus Flowers

It seems there will be more snow coming our way, and the sky is so gray today. I go looking for things to take pictures, but nothing strikes my fancy, so I rely on my archive for photos.

This blooming cactus flower does the trick! The colors are vibrant and bring such a cheerful mood on a day like today.


When I see cactus flowers, my thoughts run to Diane AZ and betchai, my two blogging friends. They have such beautiful photos of cactus, and they know their cactus's names, unlike me! Maybe they can identify this cactus flower for us.


This cactus flower is found at the Belle Isle Conservatory in Metro Detroit. If you need a dose of colors, visit the Conservatory, help keep the door open for many people to enjoy, and also lift your winter spirit.

To all my readers and followers, I'm currently taking on paid ad reviews for a living. Therefore, sometimes I will have to publish two posts a day, two to three times a week, and have to repeat the same subjects over and over again.

I've tried to select the best subjects that interested me the most to write about, but at times, that's not possible.

Thank you all for your support, and taking the time to comment! I'm blessed to have you in my life.

Hi Icy, Thank you for the link. I'm not sure what kind of cactus flowers they are, I'm guessing prickly pear but maybe Betchai knows better. Wish I could send you some of our sunshine. :)

Oh yeah you're right. This morning I ran to the garden 'cos someone told me that my cactus is starting to bloom. I'm gonna post a photo of it one of these days, and it looks exactly just like that girl!

I like the yellow catcus color, it's rare.

Sometimes cacti can be thought of as unattractive plants, but these flowers go to show that they can be beautiful too.

Beautiful and vibrant indeed...oh, I don't have a know-how on cacti and am glad to see this one. Thanks to betchai for naming it for us.
