Burgundy Star

Simi, Ca

* 6-26-06 *

The last time this lil' cacti bloomed (like 5 at once),
the near triple digit temps killed them almost instantly
& I missed a most gorgeous image. Not taking an chances
this time, I got my shot as soon as I saw the bloom. The
dark burgundy star in the middle just tickles my fancy ~

It's so delicate I can see why it can't stand the high temps. You've captured its beauty and vulnerability perfectly.

That's terrific! I had no idea it was going to turn out to be a cactus!

Soo pretty and soft. The burgundy star in the middle is a bonus.
