Living Vicariously Through Social Media: Flowering Cacti

Just look at the mass of flowers on these cacti:

I grew up essentially on a flood plain. While I have visited a few, and know that a lot of deserts are not mostly smooth sand dunes like the Tatooine and Dune stereotype would have us believe, I’ve never actually experienced deserts as a living environment. This is a fabulous glimpse—especially after the long and cold winter Finland had this year.

    What an incredible riot of color! Deserts might as well be alien landscapes to me. I never imagined they could produce such beautiful flowers.
