This is what our back garden looks like in the Spring, March through May. This was a great year for cactus and other blooms.

The cactus with huge white blooms is an Argentinian Saguaro. The blooms only last a day opening in the afternoon and last through the next morning, fading rapidly starting about noon.

In the above image, my tripod is just inches above the ground.

Yellow Saguaros

The saguaros come with white, yellow, or pink blooms. We have many with white blooms and one with yellow blooms.

Cholla Blooms

Prickly Pear Blooms

The above image is at sunset. The flowers close much earlier, but I like the backlighting.

Bop Penstemon Blooms

Lights go on at dusk casting some interesting shadows of our ocotillos on our back retaining wall.

Equipment

I take new pictures every year.

My next post will also be from our garden. It will spotlight closeups of cactus blooms.
