It's time once again for Mellow Yellow Monday!

'Pricklypear'
This is a cactus plant that grows wild in pastures and woodland and sandy places in our area and in much of the south.
The flower is very beautiful but don't dare try and pick one! :)
****Here is a site that tells all about these plants!*

*This is a childhood memory/story of mine-concerning this plant!*

Such beautiful flowers from a cactus...I've never seen these...they are very mellow yellow...
Kinda like milking a porcupine. Very carefully!
I like pricklypears, there was on beach we would go to in Florida where they grew on the dunes. Very nice pics.
My MYM
They are lovely. Happy MYM.
Oh Junie, I got tears in my eyes reading that story on your childhood when you were ten. Brings back a lot of memories for me also. You are a great writer!! :)
Love the cactus flowers!!
Thanks Carol,
Yes! It's the brightest yellow I've seen in a flower!

Hi Sally,
Thanks for reading.
The flowers just brought back the memories of that post I had written when I was doing my 'Mom memories/stories,'so I thought I'd link to it.
I sometimes think, maybe, I write too much from the heart...but that's just me. I mean... if I can't say what's in my heart-and my true memories- what's the point?

I'm always amazed at the LOVELY blossoms produced by cactus plants! I played at Small Reflections this week.
Hugs and blessings,
Thanks for coming over. I'll visit your MYM post now at Small Reflections.
