About This is a new flower to me! (I always say you learn something new every day!)
However, I didn't find this in the desert last week, but today in Old Town where I went for lunch. This is a typical cactus blossom in that it grows from the tip of a leaf. But the leaves are so FLAT and so different from others I've seen.
Photographed in open shade...
See picture below

Hope you enjoy! Have a GR8 day/evening!!!
Lori :)

Nice one Lori! Your portfolio is so full of color. You make an interesting point in your bio. We never know what's coming next. We must always remain open to new ideas, technologies, systems of thinking.
cheers,
Erik

Hi Paolo,
You are the first one to mention exactly what I saw in this photograph, the 'flowing around' feeling of the background flowers! This is what really caught my eye!
Thanks again,
Lori :)

Excellent composition with great colors. I like the background flowers that seem to run around the foreground one as if they were in a vortex; they create a lovely frame inside the frame.
Very well seen, Lori; congrats!

Best regards, Paolo

P.S. Many thanks for commenting my last works.

Hi Lori,

Absolutely gorgeous! This is really an outstanding composition!! You have picked the perfect view point (and I'm sure you probably looked at this flower from several) from which to take this photo Lori!
Never get tired of looking at your work!

Hi Lori, very nice picture. Nice color, very nice color and very nice DOF. Greatly enhance the petal and the pollen things.
You know, I've never seen a cactus having so many flowers like this. I used to have some, but the flowers bloom one at a time (and last for less than a day...)

A wonderful tribute to spring!!
The smaller white blossom inside the flower is so cute!

Hi Mark,
YEp, we did go to the Mexican restaurant. Very good,

However, they are going to be closing (some 're structuring in Old Town) and will be opening in Grossmont shopping center...This is NOT the place to go for an outdoor lunch. LOL

Dear Lori, Very nice shot .Love the beautiful colors. Old Town eh? Did you go to the Mexican restuarant ? I like that place (could have used "a few" margarita's grande today after the circus I saw last night) Take Care, Mark PS You might like my new one - could be a temp. - just so you know.

This sounds like a prickly pear cactus. The bloom can have different colors but this is the most ususal kind. They have such vibrant colors that you have captured so well. I just saw the small image below and it is not the prickley pear variety. Don

I like the positioning of the flower good use of rule of thirds,, colors are good and well saturated. I also like the shallow DOF.
