Most barrel cacti are ball shaped and have yellow flowers. This one is a little different.


Echinocactus texensis

The flowers don't last very long. I'm glad to have caught them this year.

One of my favourite memories of my childhood is the smell of the wild roses that grow in Northwestern Ontario. The flowers are single petalled, but the fragrance is just out of this world. Plus the hips are beautiful.
