Transformed

Tucson, AZ

I'm still trying to get the ID for this cactus we have planted in a side yard. I think this is the first year it has bloomed,
or at least me remembering having seen it bloom. It normally looks like a jumble of shriveled skin and spines throughout
the year, but it certainly puts out a gorgeous bloom that changes it from an ugly duckling to a gorgeous swan (of sorts).

Such a contrast between the beastly dry spines and the beauteous fresh blossom!

The flower is fantastic, and that colour is something else. V

A swan for sure, with the old duckling feathers making a great background :) V
