It’s officially peak season for saguaro cactus blossoms! 🌵🌼 Here are some of our favorite facts about the Arizona state flower:

🌵Saguaros bloom when they’re around 7-feet-tall (that’s about 30-65 years old!)

🌌 Saguaro blossoms only bloom at night

🍈 Their smell is similar to overripe melons

🦇 They’re pollinated at night by the Mexican long-tongued bat and lesser long-nosed bat

🏜️ When the flowers mature into a fruit, they’re eaten by coyotes, javelina, birds and other desert animals
