I've had the absolute best time browsing your recent cacti photos, Pat...Fabulous work and no exception here, for sure. Gorgeous details, color and light and against the dark b/g, quite a standout! (Is this of the same family as the TX prickly pear cactus??)

I really attempt to match the Latin Botanical Name to the plant...this one in the "Cacti & Succulents Guide" by Simon & Schuster looks like the plant #230 in that book. The desciption says it grows in Oklahoma, New Mexico, Texas & Arizona to Chihuahua, Mexico. The variety grows in Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Texas & New Mexico to the border. I have actually started using a black cloth to isolate the plant & flowers....I think it helps...but I love the plants just as they are....Thank you for your kind words Val...Have a wonderful day !
