Great capture of the intriguing details of this spines guarding the buds. May we hope you'll share the full shot, and perhaps a shot of the actual blooms?

Really cool! Wonderful banner. It kind of looks like cat noses poking through white feathers.

It intrigued me and brought me in.

Amazing pictures! This looks like something you'd see on a coral reef, under the sea.

Excellent banner and photos, Baja!

Your close-ups of the cactus reveal the cool intricacies of the plant! Are the spines soft or sharp?
