*** About Saguaro Cactus: The saguaro cactus, featured prominently in this artwork, is native to the Sonoran Desert of Arizona, Mexico, and California. It is known for its towering height, which can reach over 40 feet, and its arm-like branches that may number over 25. Saguaros are slow growing but long-lived, often reaching ages of 150 years or more. They bloom with white flowers in late spring and early summer, which later turn into red, fleshy fruits that are edible and have traditionally been harvested by the Native American Tohono O’odham people for food and other purposes. This cactus is not only a vital part of the desert ecosystem, providing habitats and resources for numerous wildlife species, but also an enduring symbol of the American Southwest.
