The Cholla: A desert hiker’s worst enemy. #plants #cactus #desert #bravewilderness | Brave Wilderness

It’s cholla bloom season! Repost: @desertmuseum The buckhorn cholla (Cylindropuntia acanthocarpa) is a common find in the Tucson Mountain area, and their flowers come in a medley of beautiful colors. On your next visit, say hi to our Botany staff, like Horticulturist Jack here, and ask about some of the plants you’re seeing. #desertmuseum #botany #desertgarden #botanicalgarden #sonorandesert #arizonasonoradesertmuseum #cholla #cylindropuntia #cactusflowers #cactusbloom #tucsonspring #tucsonaz #t
