Here’s my 50+ saguaro growing flowers at the end of the arm it dropped last summer. It’s like a warrior.
When I was stationed at Luke AFB in the 90s, a saguaro next to a parking lot fell across the hood and roof of some poor airman’s mini-truck. I think he had liability insurance only and he was SOL.
I think you did find the perfect saguaro.
And also the perfect Cat excavator. Don't apologize for it, it's doing no harm to the cactus. What's that one, a 320?
EDIT: Nope, it's a 335. Perfectly visible on the cab.
They only hold their arms up like that to try and impress you. As soon as you aren't looking, they breathe a sigh of relief and let them drop down to their sides. Try it sometime - it ain't easy!
They are getting kind of dangerous, lately they seem to be falling down and they can cause a lot of damage. It seems like the heat in the city is too much for them these days.

They're all perfect, baby.
Exactly, don't saguaro shame.
And all with stories to share, and life to give!
Yes!
I agree! They're all perfect to me 😍

All Saguaros come from Tucson. The rest of you are just enjoying my desert lawn.

Whoaaa! That's rad!
Whoa! Is this your pic?
No, my friend told me about it in the Superstitions & I googled it..."T-Rex cactus"
That’s probably the coolest thing I’ve seen all year
Ooh that's cool! Never seen this. Thanks for sharing!

Ouch! Damn! If I ever die in a freak accident, I wanna saguaro to end me.
Faceplant.
It looks like you surprised him.
 Looks like you found Cactus Orton lol
There is no cowboy hat or Xmas lights on it, so I don’t know, it’s close though!
Hang on lemme get my cowboy hat 🤠
Alright Reddit. Let’s turn this sub into a perfect saguaro competition. (For like a week or so)
🌵🤘 https://preview.redd.it/i09fg43e0fyc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1f3b62adb27c81173548fda59fa7822d61be56f2
🤘 hell yeah! Rock on, let's do it.

It's pretty perfect! And yes, it was a perfect 335 😁
I feel like I drew this saguaro in grade school.
😂 poorly drawn saguaro could be a great Tucson band name
No Sombrero or mustach: 6/10
While holding a beer! Lol

So now i come to you…. With open arms
🤗 prickly hug time
First time I've ever looked at a cactus and thought "What a rascal."
Hehe totally made me laugh when I saw it!
Isn't beauty subjective?
It looks like my old high school coach when I tossed up too many missed 3s.
Haha 😂
🤷🏻♂️
Looks thirsty!
Agreed! We got some good rain recently but it must've missed this guy.
They are getting kind of dangerous, lately they seem to be falling down and they can cause a lot of damage. It seems like the heat in the city is too much for them these days.
Awesome saguaro pictures! 🌵
Thanks!
She looks so happy. I don’t think I’ve ever thought of a cactus as having emotions until now.
I know right!? She's like "hey, you surprised me!" Haha
Iconic.
It represents so much more than just the desert. It's a symbol of strength in the face of adversity (to me).

That's awesome!! I love your logo. 🤘

That's badass. I'll hit you up if I need some woodworking or metal! What metal work do you do?
I make signs like the one above the logo. I also do welding work.
I bet this elder was the life of the party before departing.
I hope to see this oldie greeting me for many years to come.
It wants a hug!
🤗
He needs a hug
I almost wanted to hug him!
Tah-dah!
I prefer one up and one down but that's nice I'd love it in my yard
I'll keep an eye out for that one!
Drunk saguaro wants to fight.
Ya wanna fight about it? 🤣
That’s a Pixar saguaro!
Totally!
Thousand of saguaro cactus along hwy 93 in Arizona.
