*** About Saguaro Cactus: Native to the Sonoran Desert which spans Arizona, Mexico, and California, the saguaro cactus is celebrated for its iconic, towering form that dominates the desert skyline. This majestic plant can grow to over 40 feet tall and live for 150 years. Saguaros often start to flower around the age of 35, and their white blooms open at night to take advantage of nocturnal pollinators like bats and moths. Remarkably adapted to their arid environment, saguaros store vast amounts of water; their expandable pleated exterior enables them to handle the desert’s extreme fluctuations in moisture and temperature, making this cactus a resilient symbol of the desert ecosystem.
