*** About Saguaro Cacti: The saguaro cactus, prominently featured in this image, is an iconic symbol of the American Southwest. Native to the Sonoran Desert, these massive cacti can grow up to 40 feet tall and live for 200 years. Adaptations such as a pleated structure, which allows expansion during rain, and a waxy coated skin to conserve water, enable the saguaro to thrive in harsh desert climates. They bloom with white flowers in late spring and later bear fruit that provides sustenance for local wildlife. Saguaros have deep cultural and ecological significance, playing a key role in the desert's biological community.
