Cholla

Wildflower season is almost upon us.  A few flowers have opened their buds but it's been pretty cool here so I expect a later rush of blossoms than normal.  This cholla, a member of the cactus family is a vibrant green.  Just watch out for the stickers as they come out so easily they get the name "jumping cholla".
