Description
SIGNS OF LIFE by PHOTOGRAPHER RICK FURMANEK
Each spring the Ocotillo cactus shows off its bloom of vibrant reds which protrude from each of its arms. Known also by other names such as coachwhip, candlewood, slimwood, desert coral, Jacob's staff, Jacob cactus, and vine cactus, the arms of the ocotillo can reach up to 20 feet in length. They are indigenous to the Sonoran and Chihuahuan Deserts of the arid Southwest. In this image I wanted to isolate a single bloom to reflect the intricate design of this marvelous creation. Hundreds of seeds are distributed to the desert floor each season via birds and insects ensuring its survival in this most harsh of climates. Ref. 9493
