*** About Saguaro Cactus: The saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) is a symbol of the American Southwest. Native primarily to the Sonoran Desert, this giant cactus can grow over 40 feet tall and live for more than 150 years. The saguaro blooms with beautiful white flowers typically from late spring to early summer. Each flower blooms for less than 24 hours, opening at night and remaining open through the next day. The cactus plays a crucial role in the desert ecosystem, providing food and habitat for numerous creatures, including birds, insects, and mammals. Its slow growth and reproductive cycle are adapted perfectly to the harsh desert environment, making it a resilient and vital component of the desert landscape.
