Saguaros don't normally bloom like this

It's not usual for saguaros to bloom on the side (they usually only bloom right on top). Yet another signal of climate change: https://www.salon.com/2021/05/28/arizonas-iconic-saguaro-cactus-is-flowering-wrong-and-no-one-knows-why/

could be damage, sometimes we pinch out growing tips to encourage more blooms on a flowering plant, but hope its not just flowering profusely because it knows it going to die

Beautifully captured but so sad if it stops blooming at all.

Nature screams silently! And the man continues to play.

Awesome

Still a pretty shot

Great capture, but another sad reminder/side effect of climate change

Great shot, but mysterious as to why

[Mags]

A lovely capture! I wonder what kind of critters enjoy the fruit.

It's showing it is happy!

Hopefully it's pollinated and can seed its replacement

It is a utter shame that we don't speak Seguaro. They are definitely telling us slow minded humans something.

Thanks for explaining this. Such an unusual time with our weather.
