Falling down from our "parents",
"my brothers, sisters, and I" settle down on the ground nearby,
and start to lead our independent lives.
Most cholla cactus have orange or greenish-yellow flowers with a variety of colors, even among the same species. Most species bloom April through June, depending on local conditions. Stems and joints vary in width, length, shape, and color, as well as in the profusion of spines and glochids. Chollas may appear as ground creepers, shrubs or trees, varying in height from less than a foot (Club or Devil Cholla) to as much as 15 feet (Chain-Fruit Cholla).

“Worth the stop”
Interesting cactus and great scenery all around the garden. It's a short walk through the garden that is easily walked. Warning signs tell you not to touch!
