We have been exploring the desert and the many different cacti that grow here. We first spent a day in the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix learning about the different cacti and plants that grow in the desert. The Botanical Gardens also had some very large unique free standing glass displays that looked like cactus.
Then we spent a day going thru Saguaro National Park that is next to Tucson. We took lots of pictures of the giant cacti. The saguaro is the largest cacti in the US and lives between 150 to 200 years. They generally start branches or arms after 75 years. So when I see saguaro with branches, I know it is at least 75 years. They are really are majestic.
