Fragrant Prickly Apple Cactus
A few days ago in Everglades National Park I came across an endangered Fragrant Prickly Apple Cactus (Harrisia fragrans) with a flower bud that I hoped would bloom soon. I was told they bloom between 10 pm and 1 am, so Thursday night I drive all the way to the park and hike out to the cactus by 11 pm. Of course, it wasn't blooming! The next day I start thinking I should give it one more try, so I went back last night. I hiked out to the cactus by midnight, still not blooming. I returned to my SUV and went to sleep for a few hours, planning to shoot "other stuff" at dawn. I hiked back out there and noticed something white off in the distance behind a Buttonwood tree that was toppled by the hurricane. I get a little closer and couldn't believe that it was a beautiful cactus flower poking its way up through the ground vegetation. This cactus was so covered by vegetation I had never even noticed it before on my previous days in that area. I reach the flower and see a large brown beetle or roach in the center, then notice it had eaten some of the flower petals on the bottom. Noooooooooo!!!!! So, the flower was no longer a perfect specimen, but I'll still take it. I convinced the bug to leave, took a number of shots, then went to check on something else. It was just after sunrise when I returned to the flower and it had already started to close. It was a really special opportunity to find and photograph this cactus flower. Hopefully, I can find more.

Monarch Butterfly 2
The monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) is probably the most familiar North American butterfly, and is considered an iconic pollinator species. The eastern North American monarch population is notable for its annual southward late-summer/autumn migration from the northern and central United States and southern Canada to Florida and Mexico. During the fall migration, monarchs cover thousands of miles, with a corresponding multi-generational return north. The western North American population of monarchs west of the Rocky Mountains often migrates to sites in southern California but has been found in overwintering Mexican sites as well.
