Rarely Seen - Carnegiea gigantea

Riggson Loc: Tucson, Az
 
Otherwise known as the Giant Saguaro.

The one in my back yard is failing so I harvested the seeds from a couple fruit and started them in trays. These are about 1-2 days old. The small black seeds are about the size of a poppy seed and the small plants are roughly roughly 1mm wide by 2mm tall. In 150 years or so they will be roughly 50 feet high.

First attempt at focus stacking. Taken with a Pentax K-70, Vivitar TTB-1 bellows (65mm extension) and a Vivitar (Komine made) 135mm.

Very nice. Get back to us in 150 years to let us know how the plant(s) are doing then.
