This little Cactus tree, pronounced (Choy Yuh) is well worth giving it ample space. The needles all over the flowers are practically invisible, and can penetrate heavy clothes and skin. My one experience left me with a deep red bruise type area about 4 inches total in diameter, and took 5 days to disappear.

That tree has to protect itself Doug. Nice and well composed capture.

A scraggly-looking tree and most hazardous. One to avoid in the desert.

Very distinctive plant...and dangerous! I like how the clouds and mountains balance one another. Nice one.
