Desert Jewels

Cactus flowers are jewels of the desert--they add brilliant pops of color to our arid surroundings. Renowned Tucson photographer John P. Schaefer brings the unexpected beauty of the cactus flower to each page of this exquisite work. Hundreds of close-up photographs of cactus flowers native to the U.S. Southwest and Mexico offer a visual feast of color and texture, nuance and light.
