Shrek Ears



The flower buds on a saguaro look like Shrek's ears. Strange structures, the buds appear as quarter sized swellings that grow into a knob that resembles a button headed horn or, if you watch Shrek movies, like Shrek's ears.

Since saguaros are tall members of the cactus family, it's cool to take a digital camera with a zoom lens and capture an image like this. Without the zoom, you'd need a stepladder or boom truck to take this photo!
