A masked man is holding a 5 to 7 year old Saguaro Cactus. It's about 6 inches tall in this pot. March 6, 2021.

A 10 to 12 year old Saguaro cactus has a yard stick behind it indicating it's about 14 inches tall. March 14, 2026.

I was incorrect about the age of that particular #Saguaro. It was probably 100 to 200 years old. Ours, that we bought in March of '21 was between 5 to 7 years old. As we have had him 5 years, he's between 10 to 12 years old. I just measured him and at the top of his spikes, he is 14 inches tall.

This is a close up of the needles and pleats of a saguaro cactus. Saguaros are the iconic cactus of this desert. They are the ones that look like their arms are up in the air because they are being robbed.

Water is a scarce resource in the Sonoran Desert around Tucson. Once a plant has water it guards it. #saguaro #cactus #photography #Support_Public_Lands

#NationalPark number 17! #Saguaro has some big ass cacti. Slowly inching westward. And now there’s a massive thunderstorm with no rain, it’s freaking me out. 🤣 #Arizona #48states #rvlife

A rocky mountainside extending downward from the upper right corner of the image. Saguaro cactus is visible, as is creosote, dirt, rocks, and other desert foliage. A blue sky with white wispy clouds is above it all

A photo of a stand of huge Saguaro Cactus standing tall over the rest of the desert plants in the scene. All the plants in the image are green because that year had good rains not long before my visit. In the lower right is a big patch of Prickly Pear Cactus and their red bulbous fruits at the end of many of the large flat cactus leaves. Another smaller patch of them are at the base of a nearby tall Saguaro on the left. The Saguaro in contrast are very tall, and even with branching arms, are mainly upright. All the trunks and limbs of these tall cactus are ridged with evenly spaced and sized lines running vertically their entire height. Some have no limbs, and others have a large number. There is wide variation. Above all the cactus and the desert landscape a gentle slope of a hill rises to it's horizontal top a short distance away. And above that are a few scattered clouds in a blue sky. The Sun illuminates the scene from behind the viewer to the left, so all shadows are to the right. A flat path meanders from the lower left corner off into the cactus and shrubs toward the lower center, then out of sight.

A little #Stunday bonus!
I dug into the wayback machine (archives), and recalled my first trip to #Arizona in 2012. While there I visited a reserve of amazing #Saguaro #Cactus! I think I'm due a return trip!
I'd never seen them in person before, and was amazed!

A plastic bottle with a LEGO minifigure standing next to it in the foreground of a picture of the rocky ground in Tucson, Arizona. There are 4 saguaro cacti in the background, and a blue sky with some streaky white clouds

The plastic bottle in the foreground of a picture of the rocky ground is gone, leaving only the clean ground.

A close-up picture of Phil Sweeps, the helpful LEGO minifigure who likes to clean up the streets wherever he goes. In this picture he’s outside in Tucson, Arizona, with saguaro cacti in the background, and a blue sky with some streaky white clouds

On a quick trip to #Tucson, Phil pauses to get rid of that gross plastic thing sitting in front of the stately #saguaro #cactus.

Comment with a picture of a piece of trash you cleaned up in your neighborhood, and Phil will reply with a selfie and personalized words of congratulation 🧢🧹

Ribs of a saguaro cactus. They look a bit like cardboard.

Feb photo challenge day 22. I missed a few. This week was crazy busy and I got crazy tired. (had fun tho)
This is not cardboard. This is the remains of a saguaro. It fell and couldn't be righted. This is what the ribs look like, all dried out.

A crested or cristate saguaro against a brilliant blue sky for today’s BlueSky Monday offering

Happy #blueskymonday! The blue skies of the southwestern USA never fail to impress! I learned on this trip that this is called a crested or cristate saguaro. It is a nature mystery as biologists don’t know why this growth pattern happens.

Royalty, The Crested Saguaro
Only about 1 in 200,000 saguaros develop a crest, usually starting around 60–80 years old.

The skeletal saguaro to the right was struck by lightning, but the five in the background are plump and healthy! Clear blue skies in the background.

Another #saguaro we lost in 2025, juxtaposed with a living, healthy group of others on our property.

Spines of a saguaro cactus are blurred in the background. The foreground shows bright yellow blossoms on a nearby shrub.

Feb photo challenge day 14. Did you know that cacti like to grow in the shade of other plants? So called "nurse plants" protect young seedlings from harsh weather conditions and animals who might otherwise trample them.

So Black Canyon Trail—Wow. I mean every hilly part of the Sonoran Desert I guess, but this saguaro grove in particular. Lovely. There's a big bird nest up in that old-timer saguaro on the left. Not sure what's abiding in there but saw something zoom into it as I rounded the bend.

There are a pair of rock #wrens making a nest in an existing hole in the #saguaro outside my office window 😍 I caught this video today where I thought they were getting rid of a 'too big' stick but I think they may have actually been evicting a #spider (RIP 🕷️)
