Rose Among Thorns

Oooh, those prickly, stabbing thorns do a good job of protecting their delicate cactus blooms. This one seems to undulate, capturing all the colours about it. I cannot take the credit--it's my neighbour's green thumb that nurtures them, creating a decorative border of a variety of cactus that do grow outdoors right here in Canada, just north of Canada's only desert.
