The cactus flower meant "Thou leavest me" to the Victorians. Milagros were used to pray for healing or a good trip. and I've used them here as cactus thorns. Aztec designs reminicent of cactus pattern the background along with a styalized cactus neddle design protecting the blossom. The flower's pistil looks like a bird in flight that also leavest.
