More saguaros

I figured I might as well post the rest of my saguaro photos, since I had quite a few (for me, at least) comments about them.  No, they aren't native to our desert.  Yes, they have to be purchased and brought in.  I often see huge flatbed trucks with them.  I have no idea what they cost, but I've heard they are VERY expensive.  I read something once about saguaro theft...

They only bloom at night (we read a story about them in our reading textbook).  Moths, bats, bees and even doves will help to pollinate them.  They only bloom in our desert in May and then the blossoms are gone, so I'm going to enjoy them now!
