The color of the week for Rainbow connections is Orchid. That is kind of a challenging color to figure out just what color it really is. I decided to share some of the pictures I took a few weeks ago at the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix AZ. Hopefully there is some orchid color in these pretty cactus flowers:

I always want to go to the Desert Botanical Garden in the spring, but never make it back. Those are so pretty! The "circles" of flowers is really cool... ;-)
Thanks.
