*** About Saguaro Cactus: The saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) is a giant among cacti and is native to the Sonoran Desert in Arizona, the Mexican State of Sonora, and small parts of California. This magnificent plant is not only a symbol of the American Southwest but also vital to the desert ecosystem. Rising majestically from the arid ground, saguaros can reach heights of up to 40 feet and live for more than 150 years. They bear white flowers in late spring to early summer, which open at night and close by the next midday, pollinated primarily by bats. The saguaro's fruit is an important food source for many desert animals and has historically been significant in the diet of the Indigenous peoples of the region.
