While I was downtown yesterday waiting most of the day to NOT be chosen for jury duty, I happened upon a little desert jewel. I was making phone calls during our lunch break and discovered a crested cholla. I've never seen one before and decided I'd snap a few photos to share. they're from my phone so the quality isn't great. Has anyone else ever seen any like this?

Kinda looks like some of those "experimental" plants we moved over to your new place.
