*** About Saguaro Cactus: The saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) is a giant cactus species native to the Sonoran Desert in Arizona. It is known for its towering, tree-like structure and can grow up to 40 feet tall. Saguaros are slow growers but can live for more than 150 years. They develop arms as they age, which can number over 25 in old specimens. Each saguaro's unique silhouette is created by these arms, curving and reaching towards the sky. The cactus blooms in late spring, producing white flowers that open at night and close by the next midday, pollinated mainly by bats. The saguaro is not only a critical component of the desert ecosystem, providing habitat and nourishment for various wildlife, but it also holds significant cultural importance for the Native American tribes of the region.:
