Ridge Runner Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Hi Mike I had the pleasure of seeing some in March when I was there. That's caused by UFO dust getting on them. I was told this is the only place you can find them. Chuck Anders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Seeker Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Cool saguaro Mike!!Cool. Not being from cactus country, I must ask. Is that a cactus? Nugget, yes it's cactus, a crested saguaro, these are the same as a regular saguaro but the top has mutated or was damaged at some point and the results are what you see in the photos. Here's some more photos of some crested saguaros.http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=crested+saguaro&qpvt=crested+saguaro&qpvt=crested+saguaro&FORM=IGRESome more info on these rarities and speculation on how it happens.http://cactus-art.biz/schede/CARNEGIA/Carnegia_gigantea/Carnegia_gigantea_cristata/carnegia_gigantea_cristata.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
