Description
A beautiful yellow flower on a purple cactus in Arizona is a wonderful object to spot. Look, but don't touch. This is the Santa Rita prickly pear cactus, native to Pima County, Arizona, and named for the Santa Rita Mountain range. (thanks Lucinda)

Such unusual colors of the cactus, I didn't know they came in purple tones. Lovely capture Glenn!

Thanks much Linda. That's true. Purple is not common but that's the tone this one had. At the time at least. Maybe it's green now?

Hi Glenn. So you were in Arizona..... I just had to see what photos you would have here and I find that this gorgeous shot. This is the Santa Rita prickly pear cactus and it is a native to Pima County, Arizona, and was named for the Santa Rita Mountain range. What a gorgeous shot of this beauty! So were you in the Tucson area? Hope you will be posting more soon. l/f

Thanks very much for both the compliment and the information. I will add that to my description. I was in Ft. Mohave, which used to be part of Bullhead City. My in-laws live there. I have more to post but I am starting them out on 500. I may change that since I post so little there. Thanks again.
