Description
" Arizona Saguaro Cactus " of Beverly Guilliams........................................
Desert scenery always captivates my interest and curiosity. I frequently stop to observe the beauty in the Arizona desert as it reminds me of the old western movies. I ponder on how our ancestors survived the desert heat with little water, treacherous terrain and the desert creatures.
The Saguaro Cactus has a smooth and waxy skin and is covered with two-inch spines that are located on the tree's vertical ribs. In May and June, the Cactus bears creamy white flowers with yellow centers that measured about three inches. The Saguaro Cactus flower can be found on the end of the branches. The flower only opens on cooler nights and is closed during the heat of midday. The stem of the cactus can be 18 to 24 inches in diameter, The Cactus and its branches grow upright as do all cacti in the southwestern U.S. When it rains the Saguaro Cactus soaks up water and holds it in its ribs. Since it does not rain a lot in the desert, the cactus uses the water that it stores when it doesn't rain. Enjoy The Beauty
