Beautiful Primrose !

Anya, if you have a moment, Sp-member
'tigerlilly' has a recent photo of a
cacti plant posted. Is it a Teddy Bear
Cholla or a Cane Cholla? Here's the
LINK. Love your photos!!

Re: Beautiful Primrose !

Thanks Larry. I'm sure it's not a Teddy. It may be a Cane Cholla, but it doesn't say where this was taken (which desert?), elevation or anything. The yellow things are fruits. Cheers.
