*** About Saguaro Cactus: The saguaro cactus, prominently featured in this image, is an iconic symbol of the American Southwest. Native to the Sonoran Desert in Arizona, the saguaro can grow to over 40 feet tall and live up to 250 years. These giants store vast amounts of water, their pleated exteriors expanding like accordions to accommodate the liquid. Saguaros bloom with white flowers in late spring and by summer, red fruits that nourish the local wildlife. Fundamental to the desert ecosystem, they provide homes for numerous birds with their hollowed-out arms and act as beacons of life in their arid habitats.
