Skywatch - Blooming Cactus
Greetings from Tucson! Here we have blue skies sweetly scented with saguaro cactus blossoms.
This is a happy time for our family as my daughter and son-in-law, Victoria and Geoff, in Massachusetts await the arrival of their first baby, due any day now. :)

Your blue skies are gorgeous. I have never seen the saguaro blossoms before. They are very pretty! I guess they must need a sweet scent to entice the bees. Plants can be very clever, can't they?
Beautiful blooms and blue sky. My first time to see the flowers of that kind of cactus. Great captures.
Looks like a pair of coloumns from Greece. Wonderful sight. Please have a nice Friday.

Beautiful second picture.
An everything is so beautiful right now.
Isn't it?
Congratulations to you and your family! And, this amazing Saguaro is just that...amazing!
Lovely images of the saguaro blossoms. The bees (and birds) seem to really enjoy them. Gorgeous blue sky!
These shots are awesome, Diane. The insects add so much more interest. Spring used to be my favorite time of year when I lived in Arizona. Fabulous time to walk through the desert.
My first visit to your blog. I truly enjoyed it and all the cactus plants against a blue sky. I think those plants are really neat.
lovely photos Diane, I am fascinated with saguaro, and have not seen it bloom, am glad to see its beautiful bloom through your pictures. and congratualtions to you and your family, hope the delivery will go smoothly and both the mom and the baby be safe and healthy.
I have really enjoyed the cactus blooms this Spring, and congratulations to you and your family on the pending new arrival!
such beautiful captures and perfect for Skywatch. wishing your daughter a safe delivery.
What a happy time, for sure, Grandma!!!!! Congrats!
Great captures, perfect for SWF. I've never seen those cacti in bloom in person, they look very pretty. And congratulations!
The flowers are gorgeous! I mean more than pretty... coz they look really big for a cactus flower... cool!
What perfect blue skies. And the bees coming into land on the cactus - just gorgeous!
Oh Diane, I love the flowering cactus.... I wondered if those big ones ever bloomed. Now I KNOW... Thanks!!!!
Hugs,
Betsy
Diane, Please keep those cactus blooming - I will soon be there! Also, what a happy time for you - the birth of a Grandchild. Keep us posted!
Catcus gives the most amazing blooms. Very odd it's only on the top, will it eventually blooms all the way to the bottom too?
what gorgeous photos! i've never seen a cactus this beautiful.
Such amazing colors you've captured here. Wow! Just stunning. Congrats on the arrival of your soon-to-be grandbaby!
These are beautiful Diane and the bees on it give me a good indication of the size of the flowers.
Beautiful and lovely shots of Cactus !!Simply awesome !!Great

Beautiful cactus blooms! The flowers must be gorgeous to see.

Seeing this wonderful blooming cactus I would like to be a bee..... Greetings from Luzia.
What a beautiful scene - most of us will never be able to see this in person - Such gorgeousness!
Congratulations on the imminent arrival! Blessings are in store for your family!
Happy Weekend!
First, congrats on your new arrival any day now.
That is the most unique cactus I have ever seen. I love it and the closeup with the little bug - amazing. Great post
I'd love to see these bloom in person but it is too hot for me in Arizona this time of year.
We are at Eric's this weekend but I keep checking facebook to see if the baby has arrived.
Thank you for all the congrats and good wishes. :)
Are you grandma the first time? Must be so excited for you.
Like the cacti flowers. How tall is this cactus? How did you climb up to take that photo of the bug,
We were there after Easter and saw the buds on the saguaros. Those are gorgeous flowers! I'm so happy for you as you wait for the arrival of a beautiful baby! Blessing to all!
Wow! Your photo proves that cactus are no longer ugly, hot plants growing in dry condition.These cactus are really amazing!And congratulations for your first great grand child. I am waiting when your child sees the world!
Ann, Yes I'm excited to be a grandma for the first time. :)
This cactus was only about 10 feet tall. I just stood on the ground and zoomed in with my camera.
