These are cactus that grow in the desert of Arizona, some were in our back yard others at the Arizona Desert Museum taken in the early 1970's, we hope you enjoy our collection of cactus pictures. We've also been able to add some to our garden thanks to a friend who brought a lot of them with her when they moved from Arizona.

What a difference a few years have made.
