saguaro flowers
saguaro flowers bloom at night and are pollinated by bats
after a day or two in the sun, the flowers wilt and fruits begin forming shortly thereafter
the fruits are small and hard and, as they ripen, they split open to reveal red pulp
seeds are tiny — think smaller than poppy seeds — and are eaten and passed through by the birds who feast on the fruit
