Description
A pair of Saguaro cactus flowers greet the bright blue spring morning sky at Saguaro National Park in the Tucson Mountains west of Tucson, Arizona. The flowers of this iconic, tall cactus are the Arizona State Flower, and initially bloom at night. They remain open the following morning to increase their chances of pollination. Each bud only blooms for a single night and day.
Making a quality photograph of these flowers can be very challenging. They are found at the very top of the saguaro, or at the tip of the arms. Many times the best flowers are dozens of feet in the air and require finding one where the terrain will allow the photographer to have a more level view, without falling and breaking their neck in the process. I have scouted some opportune locations and was rewarded with this beautiful pair of fresh flowers on one early May morning.
This unique perspective finds the waxy white flower highlighted against the deep blue desert skies, and is formatted in the 1:2 ratio where a bold, colorful and dramatic image is desired to meet a demanding interior design requirement. It is available in sizes all the way up to 7 feet in width with astonishing clarity and vivid color. It makes for a superb presentation as a metal print.
