*** About Saguaro Cactus: The saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) is an iconic symbol of the American West, particularly Arizona's Sonoran Desert. These cacti can grow to be over 40 feet tall and are known for their towering arm-like branches, which can take up to 75 years to develop. Saguaros have a long lifespan, often exceeding 150 years. They bloom in the late spring, producing white flowers that open at night and close by the next midday, pollinated primarily by bats. The cactus plays a vital role in the desert ecosystem, providing habitat and food for various wildlife, including birds, bats, and insects.
