Bob visited the Rincon Mountain District of Saguaro National Park near Tucson, Arizona for a couple of days near the end of April, 2024. This was still early for the saguaro cactus to be blooming, but before he left he managed to see this one bloom on a cactus right next to the loop road through the park. This was on a very tall cactus, but, since no other vehicles were coming up behind him on the one-way road, he climbed to the top of his motorhome and got this shot. This saguaro had many buds waiting to bloom.
Saguaro cactus are the largest cacti in the United States. They frequently grow as one main trunk that eventually develop "arms." The national park with their name consists of two districts near the city of Tucson. The unit to the west is called the Tucson Mountain District and the unit to the west, the one that Bob visited, is the Rincon Mountain District.
Remember, it's not just a picture, it's a story.
