This was taken just 6 weeks ago--blooming cactus in a neighbor's front yard. The blooms from this variety and from most of the saguaros have fallen and the fruit is swelling for picking and the Tohono O'Odham July festival to "bring down the rains". With a very dry spring behind us and triple digits each day of June, so far, the meterologists suggest we may have an early monsoon season. I like it when we get so much rain andthe ribs of the cactus swell. Sometimes, a second spring arrives in mid-late summer. I don't know what Mother Nature has in store for us this year, but each day I try to find a way to be grateful for seen and unseen flowers.
