A saguaro at the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix
The talk on the street is that the saguaro cactus is an anarchist species. Each plant grows willy-nilly, impervious to advice or genetic influence. It is not about to listen to anybody.
The crested variation goes all out to flout conformity and to reject prevailing social standards. The specimen shown here lives in the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix.
Arizona is only slightly less anarchic than the saguaro, but it does have its charms.
