This majestic plant is not only a vital habitat for desert wildlife, such as birds and mammals, but also an essential component of the desert ecosystem, providing moisture and support to a wide variety of organisms. During the late spring, saguaros bloom with white flowers that open at night and close by the next mid-day, a spectacle that adds to their mystique and ecological importance.
