Saguaro Cactus (Carnegiea gigantea)
The Saguaro Cactus blossom is Arizona's state flower.
Creamy-white, 3-inch-wide flowers with yellow centers bloom May and June. Clustered near the ends of branches and not all of the flowers on a single Saguaro bloom at the same time. Instead, over a period of a month or more, only a few of the up to 200 flowers open each night, secreting nectar into their tubes, and awaiting pollination. These flowers close about noon the following day, never to open again. If fertilization has occurred, fruit will begin to form immediately.
