Edi Moore guided us to a couple of Macdougal’s Nipple Cactus in Molino Basin last Monday while hiking the area. These two are only about 4″ high and somewhat concealed by other plants and desert debris. This sighting was my first.
The blossoms had not yet opened on one plant, but should soon follow the other with beautiful greenish-yellow blossoms.
Although not that common, they are native to the desert’s higher elevations and are a protected plant. — Images by kenne
