*** About Saguaro Cacti: Known scientifically as Carnegiea gigantea, saguaro cacti are iconic symbols of the American Southwest. These towering plants can grow to be over 40 feet tall and live up to 200 years. Saguaro cacti are not only notable for their impressive size but also for their singular flower, the state wildflower of Arizona. Each saguaro grows slowly, producing arms as they age that stretch upwards toward the sky. These cacti serve as vital components of their ecosystem, offering habitat and food for diverse desert wildlife. They bloom at night from April through June, with flowers that close by the next midday, pollinated often by bats.
