Aren’t they just delightful, Chance. The purple staghorn cholla cactus is a favorite of mine. They are plentiful at Saguaro National Park East. I love the array of colors of the flowers they produce. This is wonderful to come across on your walk along the trailhead. Just beautiful! LF Janet 💕

I always enjoy cactus flowers - the contrast between the flowers and the plant itself that you mention in your description is both unexpected and delightful.
