The cactus are the best treat in the desert. Cholla or teddy bear cactus glisten in the sun and call out to you to come closer! These are very sticky and sharp customers unlike their names and love to attach themselves to your shoes, shirts or skin if you're not careful. The teddy bear name comes from the dead branches which turn chocolate brown. They stay fuzzy (and very sharp).
Hedgehog cacti hide their beauty. You have to get off main paths to find them but it is a thrill when one of the beautiful flowers reveal themselves.
