Once I built a railroad, I made it run,
Made it race against time.

Brother, can you spare a dime?

Mariposa is Spanish for Butterfly.
Desert mariposa is also a wild flower, perhaps the Desert Mariposa Lily, Calochortus kennedyi.
What did you have in mind, animal, vegetable or mineral?

I'll give it to you. The image is cropped from the last flower of this season on my Cow's Tongue Cactus.
A bee photobombed the picture while the camera's timer was counting down.

I suspect everyone will know what cactus produces flowers like this. Name the cactus.

Used to have one of those; seems to me that the flower on it was a lot more "trumpet-like"..........
Been a while since I've had any of my cacti bloom here in VA; one of the aloes did while indoors a few months past - unexpected....almost missed it being in the dormant room with the rest of the plants.
What if lollipops moaned every time we licked them?

Easy whatzit. One of the many night bloming cereus cactus.
The trumpet shape is hidden by the angle of view and perhaps the lighting... a flashlight at 2 AM. I kept the flashlight beam off of the other cactus in the garden in order to create a black surround.

I've just never really looked the bloom head on.

Re: Whatzit?
By far the best photo I've seen of the flower. Very nice technique of using the flashlight as a mini-spot. Thanks for posting that gorgeous photo.

Re: Whatzit?
I found something interesting in Marana, Arizona yesterday, June 03, 2020. I think it might make a good Whatzit subject.
