Going to miss the Desert and the Flowers

We have just had the greatest winter - but then, don't I say that every year? The flowers are coming out now and the cacti are blooming. They are so unique. This one on the right is like a yucca bottom and this 14' spear is it's flower.

 These little barrel cacti are all over. this one has 7 more blooms ready to pop out.

This is a dead looking red aloe type until these pretty flowers pop up.
This one below is  down by the lower swimming pool and corner store.
