Prickly Pear

Went for a walk yesterday, but it was extremely windy and so quite difficult for flower photography. However, I came across this robust cactus, covered with blossom!

It seems so incongruous having a delicate, pretty bloom on such an otherwise un-delicate plant. Lovely contrast.

Beautiful photograph, Issi. I love the way you composed the image, including a yet unopened bloom, and placing the yellow flower over a darker background so that it stood out all the more. Fav for the photographer and the amazing cactus.

Lovely blossom, the tones are great and the blurring isolates the blossom in a wonderful way. Again, lovely !!!

The light gives the yellow flower such a lovely soft, transparent feel.

@lyndemc Thanks - this was an amazingly big cactus with lots of blooms, so I was able to choose the right ones and move around to get the right background. @davie @anazad511 @thresheg @mauriciorodriguez @lynnilou @genealogygenie @gamelee @ziggy77 Thanks everyone - I feel very lucky to find such lovely unusual plants so close to home! @squaresparrow I know, and so easy to photograph on a windy day too!

Your flowers are so far ahead of ours. There's just one spot I know of where I can find a cactus - check weekly to see how it is coming along - this is a beautiful shot - what a lovely yellow and great dof.
