These giants store water in their accordion-like ribs and can weigh over a ton when fully hydrated. Saguaros blossom in late spring, producing white flowers—the state wildflower of Arizona—followed by red fruit in summer. As a keystone species, they provide habitats and food for numerous desert animals, including birds, bats, and insects.
