Spines - a photo on Flickriver

Spines

            This cactus has clothed itself into an almost impenetrable armor of spines and hairs to protect its succulent stem from thirsty desert animals. There is one time in its life though when it utterly depends on animals: You can see the hint of pink at the bottom left corner and some other places where a flower bud is about to poke through its needle dress. Cacti typically produce very showy flowers to attract their pollinators.
