  • Although this pencil cholla was still months away from flowering, I photographed this one in Joshua Tree National Park to show the amazing detail and unual pattern on the stems just as the early morning sun washed across the desert..
    Pencil Cholla
  • The pencil cholla is easily distinguished from other cholla cacti in the American Southwest by the scale-like arrangement on the stems that is often referred to as a diamond pattern. I thought the yellow coloration on the spines were beautiful, especially backlit lit this here in the Mojave Desert in Southern California.

    Pencil Cholla
  • The pencil cholla is a thinly branched member of the cholla cactus family found mainly in the Mojave ans Sonoran Deserts of California and Arizona, and to some extent in Southern Nevada. This photograph was made in early spring when most of the deserrt cacti are in bloom, but I missed this one as it blooms in early summer.
