Ocotillo cacti are one of the most surprising miracles in those rare “dessert bloom” years in the deserts of my experience. They are unique, quietly stunning, visible from long distances in ways other desert blooms often are not. These cacti always fascinate me- and your analogy just reminds me of my entrancement with Ocotillo. Also…look. But don’t touch.
