Nice shot George!
What's that set of blooms over on the right in the first shot?

Probably blossoms from last year. I have trouble getting around so don't often venture into the jungle.

I have never seen one ripe, the birds eat them before they turn color. Is any cactus poisonous? I was under the impression that all cactus were edible. Now succulents are quite another thing. Many succulents have poionous properties.
