John Maio Posted September 10, 2009 Share #1 Posted September 10, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Cholla pronounced cho-ya is a Spanish word that means joints or jointed. This plant grows everywhere around here but is mostly ignored (and given a wide berth) by people walking about. I spotted this growth along one of the flood control channels near the Rio Grande. I thought I'd give it some fame! M7, 35/2 ASPH. Kodak UC100 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Hi John Maio, Take a look here Cholla. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
storybrown Posted September 10, 2009 Share #2 Posted September 10, 2009 that's lovely, sharp & well articulated -- cholla has some of cacti's most attractive blossoms, too, when you find them . . . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

allamande Posted September 11, 2009 Share #4 Posted September 11, 2009 Very nice. I thought cholla had much more of a thorny look, almost totally covered with thorns that if any part gets on your shoe or clothing it's very hard to get rid of.

John Maio Posted September 12, 2009 Author Share #6 Posted September 12, 2009 Very lively colors. Another image reflective of NM colors. Thanks Virgil - but to be fair, its also reflective of using Kodak Ultra Color 100 (UC100). I think I have 1 or 2 more in the freezer, but I also believe its been replaced by EKTAR 100, so I'll have to try some of that too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
