Very pretty like how the flower seems to glitter V/P:))
James Granberry replied:
Thank you Amy. The glitter look comes from the pollen dust that bees and other pollen gathering insects have scattered through their crawling about the opening of the flower. Also, sometimes wind helps to scatter this pollen too. But, mostly the pollen is shaken and rubbed off the bodies of the insects that gather the nectar or collect pollen. Some of these pollen particles my be from other blooms or plants which will end up pollinating this one cactus bloom to fruit a cactus prickly pare. I was happy to catch all of this in this photo.
