The Blooms at the Very Top

 

The saguaro cactus have just started sprouting with blooms at the very top of these tall desert plants.



The blooms are making the birds and the bees very happy right now.  Since they are usually the only ones who can reach these blooms, that works out perfectly.

Your pictures are so great. The hummingbird at the saguaro fruit is spectacular. Thanks for showing us the pretty side of Phoenix.

Beautiful, it is amazing how birds navigate the thorns.

I believe that's a Gila Woodpecker in your second photo. It always amazed me how birds can drill holes in those cacti and make their nests inside.

Hope the birds have tough feet
