These cacti are not only a vital component of the desert ecosystem, providing habitat and nourishment to a wide array of wildlife, but they also stand as symbols of survival and resilience in the harsh desert environment. Each May and June, the saguaros blossom with creamy white flowers that open at night and close by the next midday, pollinated primarily by bats.
