Image: Cacti bloom fast and hard, having only the precise
set of circumstances for a few days in the so-called desert spring. After a week
of mild weather the temperature jumps 20+ degrees into the 100's, terminating
the blooms and transforming the cacti plants once more into humidity conservation
champions.
