Saguaro Cactus Blossom Art Print & Greeting Card — Arizona State Flower Pen & Ink Watercolor by Gene Irvin

The Saguaro cactus blossom (Carnegiea gigantea) is the official state flower of Arizona — a creamy white, trumpet-shaped bloom that emerges only at night in late spring and remains open for less than 24 hours. Found exclusively in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona and northwestern Mexico, the Saguaro is one of the most iconic symbols of the American Southwest. Gene Irvin was captivated by its fleeting magnificence and captured it in this luminous pen-and-ink watercolor: the ruffled white petals, the golden yellow center, and the spiny green cactus arms rendered with expressive line work and soft blue washes.
