"Amidst the breathtaking beauty of the Rasa Island Special Biosphere Reserve in the Sea of Cortez, Mexico, April's landscape comes alive with the enchanting sight (Cylindropuntia fulgida) cacti. Their unique shape, reminiscent of old-fashioned Christmas trees, stands out against the backdrop of Partida and Angel de la Guarda Islands. Back in the United States, in Arizona's Catalina State Park, the Jumping Cholla, also known as the hanging chain cholla, continues to captivate with its stunning display. As the sun sets, its silhouette casts an ethereal glow over the Sonoran Desert, while Brittlebush and Chuparosa bloom nearby. Native to the southwestern United States and northern Mexico, this iconic cactus species, Cylindropuntia fulgida, is a true testament to the diverse and captivating beauty of North America. From the deserts of Arizona to the California landscape, the Jumping Cholla continues to inspire awe and wonder." CTF-1053: A tribute to the Jumping Cholla's enchanting presence in the American Southwest and beyond.
