Saguaro blossoms~Cactus Monday 051710


Our local saguaros are beginning to bloom. While saguaros are NOT native to my desert, there are many of them planted near Palm Desert. They are brought in and planted in some developments and along some roadways. Saguaro theft is a big problem in some of our areas, but this one hasn't been disturbed. Cactus Monday for April 17, 2010.

Hi ho letto che il Sanguaros è una specie protetta e che quello più alto esistente oggi, supera i 13 metri di altezza e i 3 metri di circonferenza e che il suo fiore è il simbolo dell'Arizona oltre a produrre dei succosi frutti.
Bellissima pianta !
Buona giornata.

Saguaros are so grand and beautiful, aren't they? I heard that to legally obtain one costs a small fortune and papers are needed to prove it was purchased.
Happy Cactus Monday!

Beautiful picture. I saw one beginning to flower as I was walking my dogs this evening. They are lovely - but they're also tall, lol.

Yes, they are VERY tall. And, since they are not native to our desert, yes...a permit is required. Saguaro theft here is a big problem, however!
