Ocotillo Cactus in Bloom at Saguaro National Park

There's beauty in simplicity🌵 ⠀ The Ocotillo is by far my favorite cactus because of its long thin beautiful stems covered in tiny green leaves hiding thorns. They grow to be very tall and bloom with a red flower on the tips. Ocotillo means "little torch" in Spanish, which is very fitting. ⠀ The east side of Seguaro National Park was covered in these and many of the cactus' were blooming. Talk about perfect timing! ⠀ If your in the SW, head out and see if you can catch the blossoms before they go away. ⠀ ❓Do you have a favorite type of cactus❓ ⠀ Follow us @exploringoutsidethe303
