About this print
- Ocotillo stems fanning up from desert brush
- Graphic black silhouette on a pale sky
- Minimal, modern desert botanical look
- Part of the Dust & Shadow collection
Spine Bloom is an ocotillo print in graphic black and white. Long, thorn-lined stems rise from a low line of desert brush and fan out like a crown, each tip crowned by small buds, all set against a pale sky.
In monochrome the plant becomes something like a sketch, drawn by light and shaped by drought. It is a symbol of resilience, both fragile and defiant, the way the Sonoran Desert makes its own kind of beauty.
The clean lines and open space suit modern desert homes, minimalist living rooms, offices, and bedrooms. It pairs well with other cactus and desert pieces. Part of the Dust & Shadow collection. Choose a matte print, or have it framed by hand in Phoenix in black, white, walnut, or natural wood, with or without a white mat.

Good to know
What is the difference between Print and Framed Print?
Print ships as the artwork alone on heavyweight matte stock. Framed Print arrives in your choice of black, white, walnut, or natural wood frames, ready to hang.
How long until my order ships?
Every Frontier Prints piece is made to order. Prints ship in 3 to 5 business days, framed pieces in 5 to 7.
Will the colors match my screen?
Screens differ, so expect slight shifts in color. Wood grain on walnut frames is unique to each piece.
Do framed prints have glass?
No. Framed pieces have an acrylic or styrene front, never glass. It is lighter than glass and much less likely to shatter, so it is safer to ship and to hang.
Are prints signed or numbered?
No. Prints are open edition and are not signed or numbered.
