Arizona Cactus

Ocotillo
In the last post I mentioned that a cactus jumped out and got me while biking. Apparently bikers here bring a hair pick along with them to remove the cactus pieces from their legs. Then they have a small pair of needle nose pliers to remove the spines. Doesn’t that make you want to ride a bike here?


The following are different types of cactus here in our ‘backyard’.

Cholla (buckhorn?)

Fishhook cactus

Hedgehog cactus

Prickly pear



Saguaro
Teddy bear cholla
