Cactus Flower

The Saguaro in the Sonoran Desert continue to be a source of fascination. On our walk this morning, we noticed that some of the mature Saguaro had buds at the top of the plant, and some—like the plant to the right in the photo above—had progressed to the point of producing flowers.

It’s hard to believe that a plant as tough and prickly as a Saguaro could produce such delicate blossoms. It’s just one of the many surprises you find in the desert.
