A close view of a saguaro cactus crown covered with a cluster of large white, yellow-centered blossoms and green buds, with spiny desert brush and rock in the background. The saguaro (Carnegiea gigantea) is the giant columnar cactus of the Sonoran Desert, and its creamy white flowers open in late spring, pollinated largely by bats and bees. The card's own caption names the subject simply as "Sahuaro Cactus Blossoms."
White border; visible linen/canvas texture; production code "6A-H52" at lower right (Curt Teich dating code for 1936).
Postmark: none — card is unused and unpostmarked. Divided-back "POST CARD" with one-cent stamp box (pre-1952); linen-texture stock with white border; publisher imprint along left edge.
