Other Cacti






The strange meandering silhouette of the large cactus is quite formidable. I think this is a cholla cactus. When it dries, it looks very cool, and many artists use the dried shapes in their work. The low profile prickly pear is New Mexico's version of "the weed." Trying to avoid these things while dog-walking is near impossible! They are tough to dig up and even though they look really cool, especially when they flower, I would prefer that they were not so abundant.
