*** About the Saguaro Cactus: Native exclusively to the Sonoran Desert, the saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) is more than just a plant—it's an iconic symbol of the American West. Towering up to 40 feet tall, these majestic plants can live for over 200 years, slowly growing their arms, which may start to appear after 75 years. Saguaros boast a remarkable survival strategy, storing vast amounts of water in their spongy flesh during rainfalls to endure the harsh, drought-stricken months. Each year, they adorn themselves with creamy white flowers, Arizona’s state wildflower, adding to the desert’s allure every spring.
