*** About Saguaro Cactus: The saguaro cactus, a symbol of the American Southwest, is native to the Sonoran Desert. It can grow over 40 feet tall and live for more than 150 years. The saguaro has a slow growth rate and may take up to 75 years to develop a side arm. The cactus blooms in late spring, producing white flowers that open during the night and close by the next midday, pollinated mainly by bats. Saguaros are crucial to the desert ecosystem, providing habitats and food for various wildlife, including birds and insects. Their imposing figure adds not only to the biological diversity but also to the cultural iconography of Arizona.
