Backstory
While I’m not a big fan of the prickly pear cactus—I much prefer the ones I call “prickless pears” because of their lack of thorns—I do admire its lush flowers. They are large, abundant, and bright yellow. They are also a micro-ecosystem, full of various life forms. You can see a larger bug of some kind in the topmost flower of this bouquet. Smaller bugs adorn some of the other blooms.
