W....O....W!!!!!!

Lori, Gilli:

It was difficult to get the whole cactus in the photo at night. It is too dark in the sections of the San Diego Zoo. I'll have to go back this summer when the San Diego Zoo is open until 10:00 p.m. and take a photo later in the evening when the flowers are fully open.

stunning pic i'll make that three WOWs...lol
