Saguaro blossoms

A hummingbird comes in for a landing on the giant saguaro blossoms. On the very top of the cactus, the blossoms look like a spring straw hat with flowers to me. Many people consider the saguaro as the monarch of the Sonoran Desert. Saguaros flowers blossom in a precisely orchestrated sequence to satisfy needs of birds, bees, bats and other creatures that feed on them.

 

It is a challenge to photograph the blossoms as the saguaro can be up to 25 to 35 feet tall.

 

 

As always, thanks so much for stopping by.
