Saguaros sometimes grow in odd or misshapen forms. The growing tip occasionally produces a fan-like form which is referred to as crested. Technical Details Biologists disagree as to why some saguaros grow in this unusual form. Some speculate that it is a genetic mutation. Others say it is the result of a lightning strike or freeze damage. So glad I stumbled upon this rare cactus.Captured in Tuscon, Arizona EXIF: Canon EOS 40D, 300mm, 1/320s, f/6.3, ISO100, Flash: N, White Balance: MANUAL, Metering: center weight, Timestamp: 04/27/2008 1:03pm Related Links:   American Southwest    All Diane's Photos I feel real loose like a Long Necked Goose Bumpy Ride - But Tires don't go Flat Honky Tonk Boa Don't Hug Me Painted on the Desert I Now Prounounce You.....
