Saguaro Cactus

On Valentine's Day, 1912, Arizona officially became admitted into the union. This earned the nickname "The Valentine State", and the state has done its best to uphold that nickname.

Despite the fact the saguaro cactus has become the symbol of the American West and the desert, did you know: Saguaro cactus ONLY grow in the Sonoran Desert! How long does it take for an arm to grow on a Saguaro? Longer than you might think!
