Happy Cactus Monday!
In the desert, the last bloomers of the summer monsoon season are the barrel cacti. The most common flower color is orange, but they also bloom in yellow and red. With cacti decked out in these warm festive colors, it looks like the desert is celebrating the end of a hot summer.
