Opuntia, Prickly Pear
This type of Prickly Pear cactus is very common in the Park and is just beginning to bloom - so glad we got to stay long enough to see all the spring flowerings! The warm weather of the past few days (and the touch of weekend rain) are getting everyone's hopes up for a good show of desert blooms.
Just today on our ride we noticed many plants along roadsides and in landscaped areas are bursting with colour!
Wow there are a lot of buds on them. I bet they are really beautiful when they are in full bloom!
