Cactus Flowers - Arizona Barrel Cactus

The barrel cacti are blooming in my yard. The native one (Ferocactus Wislizeni) looks great!

Although it was 104 degrees this afternoon in Tucson, I am glad I snapped these pictures. The sun was in the right spot and made the lighting perfect for many of these photos.
