Red Barrel Cactus Photos, Anza Borrego Desert State Park
Thanks to John Dougherty for kindly helping us to correctly identify a number of flowering plants from recent visits to Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. One of our favorite subjects was the Red Barrel Cactus (Ferocactus acanthodes) which were just beginning to show their blooms. We plan to return in a few weeks to capitalize on what should be an exceptional cactus bloom season.
