The challenge this time for Rainbow connections is to post pictures of 6 items, of the same theme, that are the colors of the rainbow.
I took these pictures in April 2009 at the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix Arizona.

Purple wildflowers

These flowers are the closest I could get to blue flowers.

Green flower buds were just starting to show on the Saguaro cactus.

Bright yellow flower on the prickley pear cactus. This flower seems to have a few critters.

Bold orange cactus flowers.

Pretty little red wildflowers
