Such a delicate mixture of spiny thorn and soft flower.

The cactus blooms are so delicate and fragile looking and sometimes I think they can be that way since they have the strong arm of the cactus thorn to protect them.

I used to raise and collect all sorts of cacti. Some of them can produce the most beautiful little flowers.

That's a lovely picture.

maybe the petals are like protective funnels so the bugs can get by the spines to the pollen.
