Aren't cactus flowers amazing. Especially coming from something as forbidding as a cactus. Those lovely delicate green/yellow colors are very eye-catching. The only cactus flower I know is the night-blooming Cereus & while this bears an intereresting resemblance...it's not that. It looks Tall, Arizona-tall.
