Saguaro Blooms

Not the best photo I could possibly get of saguaro flowers because I took it in the afternoon.  Just like all other cactus flowers, they last only a day. By mid-afternoon they've already started their journey to cactus flower heaven.  If I can get up early enough withing the next few days, before all of those giant buds finish blooming, I'll post a better photo.

Ponderings~
1. If the #2 pencil is so popular, why is it still #2?
2. Why do psychics ask for your name?
3. Is "cute as a button" really a compliment?
4. If something "goes without saying," why do people still say it?
5. What hair color do they put on the license of bald men?
6. Why is the word abbreviation so long?
7. Why is there an expiration date on sourcream?
8. Isn't it a bit concerning that doctors call what they do practice?
9. Why do fat chance and slim chance mean the same thing?
10. Should vegetarians eat animal crackers?
