The Giant Saguaro

As you can see, this saguaro has been a prolific bloomer over the last ten days.  There are many shriveled up flowers and still some yet to come. I have been waiting for the right time to capture as many open at one time.

I took a bunch of unfocused shots the other day, but those were from my car. Today I walked out and tried various angles.  Saguaro flowers bloom in the very early morning. By this time of day they have already started to close up but I think you can get a pretty good look at them.

(I think they look better in expanded view because of the black background.)
