This succulent was captured at the Boyce Thompson Arboretum outside of Superior, AZ. The Arboretum is a great place to photograph plants that can survive in the southwestern desert.

Tonia:
Nice capture of this flower and the exposure on the white is well controlled. Good choice of DOF with just some other cacti in the bg. The comp is a little centered and an alternative would be a little crop off the top.

Sorry, no idea about the ID, Tonia - but I like this. The lighting brings out the rich orange in the centre, and the whites look very good to me. I also like the composition, though Gary may have a point about a bit of a crop from the top.
