Ha...you got killer cactus's and I have killer alligators. Wanna trade? Love the detail in the center. Cactus blooms are beautiful.

What a neat visual oxymoron! A soft lovely flower in the middle of a killer cactus. Well done.

Reminds me of a girl I knew in high school. Cactus blooms are so delicate while the plant has some pretty fierce ammunition to fight of those who might want to eat those fleshy, water-filled leaves. Beautiful capture.

A very nice shot. I like this one better than my "Don't sit on the flower." Keep them coming!

I think this fits the theme of the contest best out of the entries I've seen so far.

Wish I'd thought of it first...
