Close up of a crested saguaro cactus. It has the usual arms but with an unusual wavy pattern towards the base of the arms before the main body. Clear blue sky in the background.

Skyline in Sabino Canyon. Gorgeous blue sky with mountains covered in saguaro cacti.

One of my favorite places in the world - #SabinoCanyon. My first time back in 3 years and my favorite cactus is looking good! I always spend some quiet time there. This place centers me. I grew up here. #Tucson #CrestedSaguaro

Lets go ahead and add this to the feed! I am excited to share these with like minded individuals. I have also came across a few folks who own the site crestedsaguarosociety.org Lots of crested's documented from the 90's to now.

I created a feed for Crested Saguaros. Just add the tag #crestedsaguaro or even just mention Crested Saguaro and the feed will pick up the post and auto magically add it to the feed. Below is the feed link.

This crested saguaro is magnificent! The crest is thought to occur due to a genetic mutation. I have only seen a very few of these and I think they are really special. I hope you enjoy.
