Texas Rainbow Cactus
(Echinocereus dasyacanthus)
 
 
 

This is another of the Texas Rainbow Cactii that I saw along Grapevine Hills Road. This one had a beautiful light-yellow blossom. You can also see in the out of focus background here how the whole desert floor was in bloom with various flowers, especially yellow desert dandelions which were everywhere! Photo taken in April 2001.

Photo Details: Nikon N90s, Nikon 85/2.8 Tilt Shift, Velvia, f8@125, Manfrotto CF4221 w/ Kirk BH-1.
