| The next couple pictures are just of Saguaro. We took a 5 mile drive around the National Park and I just took some Random pictures. Grandpa was so nice to pull over so we could get just the right picture. Saguaro's are as different as our fingerprints. No two Saguaro is the same. They are pretty facinating. |
 |
| Saguaros are the largest cactus in the United States. They typically grow 30-40 feet. They live to 150-200 years. A 10 year old Saguaro is only 1.5 inches They only grow an inch a year. It takes 50 years for the first arm to grow. |
 |
| This is an Ocotillo is a succulent not a cactus. |
 |
| The Saguaro can grow however many arms it wants. |
 |
| Look at all the beautiful Saguaros |
 |
| When the Saguaro is in distress the arms will grow down toward the ground |
