Christina, these Cactus Flowers are so pretty :lust

I saw some in USA during my travels, and it interesting how the flower opens in the sun and closes later in the day.

Interesting how they all have such different centers these flowers.

All these pictures are beautiful Christina :clap ... Skippy :D

Christina-

These are great!!

Hope you didn't become a casualty when taking these- I know many a photographer that catches a needle to the backside when taking photos of cactus. :rofl

Thanks Skippy!

Here is a night blooming cactus in my backyard. I shot this at 5:30 am right before the flowers closed up for the day.

Thanks Aaron! Fortunately most of these were in my neighbors yard, so I managed not to hurt myself! :D
