*** About Saguaro Cactus: The saguaro cactus, scientifically known as Carnegiea gigantea, is a giant cactus native to the Sonoran Desert in Arizona. It is renowned for its imposing stature and can live for more than 150 years. Saguaros grow slowly, taking up to 10 years to reach about 1.5 inches and might not sprout arms until they are 70 years old. These cacti are vital to the desert ecosystem, providing habitats and food for numerous birds and other wildlife. Each May to June, saguaros blossom with white, creamy flowers, Arizona's state wildflower, followed by red, edible fruit that ripens in June, offering nourishment to the desert's inhabitants.:
