Everywhere you look in the Arizona desert you will see cactus in full bloom. And, the blooms are just gorgeous. Even the most severe looking cactus produce beautiful flowers. Today I feature the blooms of the giant saguaro cactus. The blooms appear at the top of the limbs of the cactus so you can’t always get good photos of them. Especially when you are only 5 foot 2 inches tall! This one had a short arm positioned only two feet above my head so I was able to use a telephoto lens to get a better shot.

wonderful. i really want to capture a bat with the saguaro flower while the bat is pollinating it at night i can only imagine what patience and equipment it must take to have a night bat shot with the flower.
Cactus flowers are so beautiful. This one looks like it has about 30flower on that one arm.
You are indeed correct about saguaro flowers. THey will be in various stages of bloom for about the next month. I am glad you were able to get this photo notwithstanding being vertically challenged.
It's rare that you stumble upon excellent sites like this! Good and attractive information, I’ll come back to read more. Keep posting
