I'm a very infrequent poster, but very much enjoy learning a lot from everyone's photography.
Here's an Organ Pipe Cactus flower that was just too good to pass up. It typically blooms during the night, and this one measures about 7 inches in diameter. It was taken early in the morning before the bloom either closes up or dies.
Thanks again to everyone for commenting (Kevin, Morris, kmunroe, mco_970, RC, dorian, David and Jim).
Although the bloom on this cactus would not have lasted too long given its short blooming span, I have to report that it became a quick appetizer for a family of javelinas that passed through my front yard last night. Very few things go to waste on the desert!
