*** About Saguaro Cactus: The saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) is an iconic symbol of the American Southwest. Native primarily to the state of Arizona, these towering cacti can reach heights of up to 40 feet and often live for 150 years or more. Each saguaro's distinctive silhouette is highlighted by its ribbed structure which allows for the expansion and contraction as water is absorbed and used. The cactus blooms in late spring, producing white flowers that open at night and close by midday, pollinated by bats, birds, and bees. The saguaro's ability to store large amounts of water and its slow growth rate make it particularly adapted to the harsh desert environment.
