Eriocerius bonplandii which is commonly called “Queen of the Night” , is a climbing or trailing cacti that only flowers at night. This plant has been growing in a 14 inch container for the last 20 years, and flowered for the first time last year….. ======================= /

Made in Ultra Fractal 5. This is an updated version of an earlier fractal landscape that I’m not sure was uploaded here. I wasn’t satisfied with the moon and night sky of the previous version.
I was listening to Moby and before I knew it this simple cactus shot turned into this… I think Moby was affecting my brain, haha. So enjoy my insanity!
Saw these red flowers trying to hide in amongst the cacti in the Botanical Gardens . Not the most comfortable of hiding places. Oh, and also my second attempt at the Orton effect. Canon EOS 5D / Canon lens EF180mm macro 3.5 L Ultrasonic / Morning light / Focal length 180mm / F/3.5 / Exposure 1/250 sec. / Metering mode: Pattern / Exposure compensation: -1 step. Thanks for looking – view large. Cheers Crispin. .
I gave this Christmas cactus to my mother a couple of years ago; it’s huge now! This is only a small detail of that gorgeous plant which blooms just in time for Christmas each year.

Photographed in the Southern / California Desert. The ocotillo is a / unique desert plant of the / southwestern United States / and northern Mexico. Most / of the year, it appears to / be an arrangement of large spiny / dead sticks, although closer / examination reveals that the stems / are partly green. With rainfall / the plant quickly becomes lush with / small ovate leaves. The plant may grow to a height of 10 m. / Its branches are heavy at its base, / but above that the branches are pole-like. / The leaf stalks harden into blunt / spines, and new leaves sprout / from the base of the spine. Bright red / flowers appear in spring and summer, / occurring as a group of small tube / shapes at the tip of the stem. / They are pollinated by / hummingbirds or carpenter bees. Ocotillo poles are a common / fencing material in their native / region, and often take root to / form a living fence. The Ocotillo / poles have been used / for canes or walking sticks / due to their light weight and / interesting patterns.
I volunteer in the Green Valley (AZ) Gardeners’ Arid Garden. The trichocereuses had blossomed once already this spring, but yesterday we could tell that they were about to bloom again. When I went down this morning to check on the progress, about 10-12 cacti had bloomed. Photographed with a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ 50.
