Of all my Barrel Cactus, the red one is the most striking. It’s so brilliant, you can’t help but say WOW!
I had high hopes for a full circle of flowers but maybe next time. Here’s a few shots from yesterday.
Tech info: Slightly overcast day. Canon 5DMK2, Canon 180 macro lens, ISO 200, F/13, 1/125th sec, plus 1/2 stop.
Nice.
Beautiful shots. The ones in our neighborhood are all “done” and have been for weeks. They must bloom at varying times, but I sure missed them this year.
The difference might be that mine get supplemental water. There are usually at least 3 rows of buds so they are blooming almost all month.
