Even more spiky tops

As promised here’s a couple more photographs from Arizona thanks to Debby H who passed them on. The above is a great flowering mesquite in a car park of all places. We’d love to see one in a car park around here. It mentions on the Wikipedia page that it can be invasive so perhaps not. More about the species here.

And this is a good one, a saguaro with some great little flowers on the top. We’d love one of these in the back garden! Lots of interesting stuff on that cactus here. Cheers again Debby, great stuff!

More lovable spikey tops

If you remember recently, we had a post about cacti after our friend in Ukraine, Wlad (US7IGN) sent us some pictures of his cacti here. A big thanks to Debby H for passing on some great pictures from her friends in Arizona of some super examples of cacti out there.

The pictures she passed on include a couple from the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum near to Tucson which looks such a great place. See more about their cacti garden and the many interesting plants they have here and here.

Thanks again to Debby H for passing on the pictures and we’ll post up another couple later this week. All we can say cacti are great!
