Since we'll be sitting in Tyler, TX for the next 6 months doing mundane stuff, I decided to take the blog traveling back along the roads we've traveled in the past 15 years.
Today we're visiting Arizona saguaros.
Saguaros (suh waa ro) are a tree-like cactuses that can grow over 50' tall. They are native to the Arizona Sonoran Desert and certain places in Mexico and California. The saguaro blossom is the state wildflower of Arizona. They often live over 150 years. Their first arms grow after 75-100 years of age, but some grow no arms. They can absorb and store considerable amounts of rainwater, visibly expanding in the process. They provide food and habitat for a number of animals. Humans have used them for food and shelter for thousands of years.
Each cactus is as unique as each human.
At home working on projects,
Louise and Duane
