About it

The saguaro is a giant cactus of the Sonoran Desert in Arizona and Mexico. It grows very slowly but can reach about 12 meters tall and live for 150 years or more, and it may not grow its first arm until it is at least 50 years old. Its white flowers bloom on the tips in late spring.

Taps take turns. The first shoots all the spines out and draws them back; the next slides a wedge out of the trunk to show the inside: wet, pale green flesh around a ring of woody ribs. Its pleats spread like an accordion to store water after rain. Set the number of arms and the flowers in the Splash tab.
