Great shot. I love this plant and take a lot of photos of them too.

Terri, since it is a native here in New Mexico I doubt it grows in the UK. As a child I always called it the New Mexico plant as it blooms with yellow and red, the colors of our state flag!

Cactuspatch - what a great way to remember a plant! I really don't care for BoP's in general, but this one captured my heart a few weeks ago and I am on the search.
