It is just too hot to do any field research today, so a quick look around the grounds here at COC is in order. The first picture is the view across the large arroyo that runs through the property here.
A cholla grows by sprouting new segments with soft appendages that harden into needle-like thorns.
When bumped, these thorns often break off and stick into the bumper, causing sharp pain.
When a single flower adorns a spiny limb, it's like having Beauty and the Beast on the same plant.
