*** About Saguaro Cactus: The saguaro cactus, scientifically known as Carnegiea gigantea, is not only an iconic symbol of the American Southwest but also one of the most distinctive and charismatic species of the Sonoran Desert. These towering plants can grow to over 40 feet tall and are known for their long lifespans, which can exceed 150 years. Saguaros feature a waxy outer skin and a complex framework of internal ribs which help them to withstand the harsh desert climate. Each spring, they bloom with stunning white flowers that crown the tips of these vertical giants, followed by red fruit in the summer that local wildlife relishes. Native to the state of Arizona and a small portion of California and Mexico, these cacti hold profound significance in the cultural and natural heritage of the region.
