The Beauty In The Beast


The fearsome Chollas are best given a very wide berth, especially the uncannily clingy, Jumping Cholla but they are capable some very eye-catching flowers. Just don't stick your nose near them to check their scent!

    I have never seen a cholla in bloom. Only in winter when I always give them a wide berth due to their reputation!

    That is a very wise policy Roberta - they are not to be tangled with! :)

    Hi Guy,
    I think so, quite a contrast to the fearsome plant! :)
