Hosted by "Vintage Postcards Cpaphil"You know, after missing last week, I couldn't wait to grab some unusual postcards to share and see everyone's, but when life gets in the way, life gets in the way you know? ;-)
Anyway on way back here, I went to my favorite airport store inside the D gates in Phoenix, AZ and found several great postcards!
This one is about Saguaro Blooms, but look at that twisted one! That has to be at least 50 to 60 years old if it's blooming as it states on the back. (Hope you can see it) The blooms are beautiful!
State flower of Arizona: Saguaro Blossoms
"The extreme slow growing saguaro does not produce its first blossoms until it is seven to eight feet tall and fifty to sixty years old."

Thank you Marie for hosting again!
Enjoy looking at all the postcards! I know I will!

I have a postcard showing cactus in Arizona (I think) but it doesn't show the blossom at all. One or two of the commenters did say the desert in bloom was a sight to see.
I'm always amazed that a desert plant can live so long and grow so big (and in odd directions, apparently). But I didn't know saguaros ever bloomed! The only cactus flowers I've ever seen have been tiny.
Coool! That is the wildest cactus ever! It has very octopus like qualities! I just love your blog's new graduation look! Congratulations again!
What a cool card .. happy pff!

Oh what a great postcard! Gee....I don't know if I am patient enough to wait around fifty years for a flower to bloom. :-)

Beautiful card. I love these cacti when they are in bloom. I've only been to Arizona twice and I was amazed at the size of these saguaros.
Happy PFF!
Ya know, I've met some people who don't bloom until their 50s or 60s :)
Very cool postcard! Thanks for sharing.
Hahaaa..GREAT postcard! Happy PFF--a little late, but a greeting heartily given just the same!
