Cholla Cactus

[ Sizes: Orig | Med | Small | Thumb ]

Silver Cholla Cactus (Opuntia echinocarpa) covered with snow.
Pine Creek area of Red Rocks, Nevada. December 2008.

These cacti are as abundant in Red Rocks as the Buckhorn Chollas. They are also sometimes called Golden Chollas. It all depends on the color of their spines.
Cholla cacti bloom in Red Rocks in early June.

"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed."" --Albert Einstein
