| Desert Willow flowers |
We did our usual hike today, and the only disappointment--aside from Willow pulling me forward to get at dog scents as fast as she could--was the not-yet-blooming Nipple Beehive Cacti we discovered.
I felt pretty certain they'd be blooming later on so I drove back along the upper flatland road after lunch to confirm my suspicion; I was not disappointed. The post-lunch photos of Coryphantha macromeris (Nipple Beehive Cactus) are posted below.

So many wonderful photos, Packrat. The Desert Willow blossoms are so pretty. And I love the colors of the flowers on the Nipple Beehive Cactus. I'm glad you took that extra trip to get those photos.
