United States Postage Stamp, Pollination, Lesser Long-nosed Bat, Saguaro Cactus Flower,
During late spring in the Sonoran Desert, Saguaro Cactus flowers bloom for just one day. They open at night and emit a melon-like smell, which attracts the Lesser Long-nosed Bat and other bat species. The next day, the flowers attract bees and birds. Once pollinated, the blooms mature into brilliant red fruit.
