To do a completely different #bloomscrolling from my visit to #Saguaro #NationalPark near #Tucson #Arizona, I present to blooms of the Saguaro #Cactus itself! These are pretty hard to photograph as they are usually found on the tips of the branches, which are usually pretty high off the ground. This is just fine for an important pollinator, the Lesser Long-nosed #Bat. This #endangered species not only pollinates the cactus at night, but it disperses its seeds by air when it later feeds on the cactus fruit. Here’s some more information:

A single dark green Saguaro Cactus is seen blooming profusely at the top of its single stem. The flowers are white with yellow centers, there are a number of unopened flower buds as well. A blue sky and some bare shrub branches are seen behind the cactus.
Two side branches of a Saguaro Cactus fill the photo, with a blue sky behind them. The tips of the branches have a number of buds and blooms. The blooms are creamy white with yellow centers. There are a number of bright red Ocotillo flowers on the tips of bare branches in the background.

'Tis the season. #nopal #Cactus

(I cut them off using a large rectangular knife and tongs, then scrape the spines off with the knife and cut the pad edges off outside. Once inside, rinse the pads, cut as desired & cook or blanch 1 minute then freeze for later.)

1 hour of work yielded two gallons / eight liters of pads to be washed & frozen (some were also eaten for lunch).
