I did a google search for "purple cholla", and this blog entry came up. Wow! I didn't have to search any farther! The specific info you gave on filament colors was all I needed!

You should consider seeing about having them published in a magazine, sold at art fairs or consignment shops, and hanging on an art gallery wall. All of your images joyously speak of the gorgeous burst of winter color in the desert. Loved the educational information on the cholla cacti as well, and it's a real treat seeing a Cactus Wren for someone in Northeast Ohio. I already wrote on another blog earlier today that their photos made me want to visit Arizona. Your blog entry doubles that sentiment.

We must have been on a similar wave length, but I didn't see any cholla to post about. Don't see quite as many cholla in the upper Sonoran. Great photos.
