Puzzle Description:

Kaktos is Greek for "prickly plant." These are prickly pear cacti blooming in New Mexico under a bright sun. Can you see the saguaro cactus on the left, with the white blossom on top?

i lived in phx az for 12 years Teresa and true enuf...the dessert is beautiful in bloom.
however, saguaros usually look like pitch forks (third pic on u-tube is a saruaro)
the buildings are an exact replica :-) thx for the memories

Thanks, Wendy.

Yes, Tom, some saguaros look like pitchforks, and some don't.

Wonderful puzzle Teresa - I loved your use of colour and the outline of the buildings. I can just imagine being there. Other than Florida I have never been to the southern states.
