bloomin' cacti


I have learned the difference between a cactus and a caucus. On a cactus, the pricks are on the outside.

Coming from Tennessee, I'm just beginning to learn about the flowers found in Colorado. So please correct me if I have these wrong. I believe the one at the top is Prickly Pear Cactus. And to the right are blooms of the Claret Cup Cactus. These were found along the roadside on Skyline Drive.
