“Pincushion Cactus Blossoms” by LYLE GLASS.

Although the pincushion cactus lays close to the ground and are hard to find, with their bright hot pink blossoms they are easy nto spot if you know where to look. I've seen several varities, some with peach colored blossoms to yellow and lime green blossoms.
