Anza Borrego Desert SP, CA. Beaver-tail, Choia, Fishhook, Beaver-tail.

While I went to Anza Borrego Desert State Park in hopes of finding dunes covered with a carpet of wildflowers…and did indeed find them…the cacti were also coming into bloom. Hard to ignore! This panel shows, clockwise from the upper left, Beaver-tail, Chioa, Fishhook, and Beaver-tail with a slightly different color. I love cactus flowers. And the fact that I so rarely get to photograph them only adds to the attraction.
