The photo was taken at Phoenix Desert Botanical Gardens in Phoenix, Arizona. The Saguaro cactus is seen all over southern Arizona but the Crested Saguaro is fairly rare.

The Crested Saguaro?? Do you mean the Saguaro that is infected with a virus that makes it do strange things? That Saguaro?

I have seen no documentation on why Crest Saguaros are the way they are.

The Tucson Botanical Garden has a couple of them and explains how and why they are how they are.

It has an other-worldly look to it. Good capture!

This one is very famous. I shoot them wherever I find them because they are so rare. Lovely.
