Blooming

"The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all."
~The Emperor, "Mulan"~

Beautiful blooms and a great quote. It is surprising that with water or no water cactus still bloom.

Prickly pear blooms are incredible

Are these flowers blooming from a cactus? They are so pretty, and I like how you composed this shot with them in the foreground.

Reminds me of that quote in Isaiah 35: "the desert will bloom with flowers. It will be very glad and shout for joy."

Thank you so much for commenting on my photo of the cactus flowers. I got down very low with the sand and thorns, but I wanted the low POV shot, so I did it.
