***About the Saguaro Cactus: Native to the Sonoran Desert, the saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) is not only an iconic symbol of the American Southwest but also a vital part of the desert ecosystem. Capable of growing over 40 feet tall, saguaros can live for up to 200 years. These cacti provide habitat and nourishment to a wide array of wildlife, from birds that nest in the cavities carved out by woodpeckers to numerous insects and mammals that rely on its flowers and fruit for food. The saguaro's blooming period in late spring offers a spectacle of white flowers that adorn the tips of each arm, contributing to the desert's biodiversity.
