OK. Those red things really aren't flowers, they are the ripening fruit of the nopal cactus, aka prickly pears or in Spanish, tunas. I'm running out of steam with flowers. 8(

They still give the impression of floral highlights. Works for me!

That is one HUGE cactus ! When I first got married, I was so obsessed with Cacti, I had many different varieties. That obsession stopped and I turned it into a love of Roses.

They do have pretty flowers at some point too though, right? Those look like red maracas.

Wow, it's laden with fruit. I wonder what they taste like? Too prickly to entice me near enough to find out. We have prickly pears growing wild here in Australia. Someone introduced them and they liked it too much. (Like the rabbits, and cane toads etc.etc.)
