cholla cactus

cholla cactus

Description:

This 12" cactus was surrounded by 1" satellite cactus in the ground. The larger plant stood past 4' and just as wide. The first two photographs are the newer found. The second is what I believe to be a silver cholla found on a walk near Joshua Tree Park.

Habitat:

Southern California

Notes:

Found Desert USA on facebook. This is a wonderful place to identify many wildflowers, cactus, and animals; as well as information.

Hi Mary, welcome to Project Noah! Nice spotting and information. Please consider joining the Southern California Wildlife mission in order to document all life in so-cal. You can add this and future spottings in the area. Thanks! http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/7964...
