*** About the Saguaro Cactus: The saguaro cactus, native to the Sonoran Desert of Arizona, can grow to be over 40 feet tall and live upwards of 150 years. These towering plants are not only a vital part of the desert ecosystem but also a cultural symbol of the American Southwest. They store large amounts of water, their thick skins and pleated surfaces adapting perfectly to the desert's extreme climate, swelling to gather moisture and contracting during dry spells. Each spring, saguaros blossom with white, waxy flowers, earning the distinction of being Arizona's state wildflower.
