*** About Saguaro Cactus: The Saguaro Cactus, native to the Sonoran Desert in Arizona, is an iconic symbol of the American Southwest. This giant cactus can grow over 40 feet tall and often lives for more than 150 years. The arms of a saguaro typically begin to grow after the first 75 years, which helps in its reproduction by elevating the flowers and fruits above other vegetation. Saguaros have a spectacular blooming season; their white flowers open at night and close by the next midday, reliant on nocturnal pollinators like bats and moths. The saguaro's thick skin and pleated structure help it to conserve water, a crucial adaptation to its arid habitat. This majestic plant is not only a vital part of the desert ecosystem but also a cultural and historical icon of the southwestern United States.:
