earth, sky, 106˚ & still in the pink - amazing how life adapts… keep Floppy & friends clear of the 'maimer' and 'crippler'… and off the landing strip. From what I read, that could easily be 20-30+old.
"Remarks: Because of the slow growth rate of plants, it appears that Echinocactus horizonthalonius may have a life-span of 75-100 years. The Sonoran Desert populations of Echinocactus horizonthalonius have been segregated as var. nicholii, but are relatively similar to plants in New Mexico and the westernmost part of Texas."
Is it one foot across? Smaller? Looks large. Very curious.
Breathtaking photography.Thank you Mr Wells........Barbara
really pretty flower in the desert. sure Floppy and friends know to avoid such things as they plod their way along...they have way more sense than humans in what's under their feet.
Reminds me of an old gal I know..she sho is purdy but armed to the teeth
Very beautiful!!
