Here's a cactus flower pic from the same area today..
.
.
The Opuntia cacti are a major part of the habitat in many places near here, without it many animals could not survive. Note that the flowers in the 1st photo are more orange.. it's all the same cacti. In this part of Texas the yellow and red-flowered examples are found.. plus the orange intergrades.

Seems like nearly everything in texas either has fangs, stingers or thorns. It's some tough herping terrain lol. Even the grass bites!
