Spring Cactus - 2020

The Siler Pincushion Cactus is a federally listed endangered plant and only grows in a small region on the Utah, Arizona border. The blossoms are small, about an inch, or around the size of a quarter.
View from Black Rock Road overlooking I-15 freeway.  The morning light creating a beautiful backlit desert scene.

One car down below, if that was out of sight this could be a deserted beautiful retreat, so safe right now, love those deep coloured flowers.
