Just what is a DESERT, or what makes a desert, a DESERT?

This section shall be for Cactus and their blooms.
If I have miss named any, please feel free to correct me.
If I have not named any, please feel free to help me name them.

My record Saguaro Cactus.
I believe this Saguaro has the most arms on it of any Saguaro, any where.
It was very difficult to count the arms, and I may not have counted correctly, but I did count them many times. The least amount of arms I came up with was 43, the most amount of arms I came up with was 57. I would guess the only way to get a correct count would be to number each arm as I counted, but that in this case was impossible, so, I will just have to leave it as is. I did get 53 arms 3 times in my counting so I will except the number 53 as the amount of arms this Saguaro has.

My Giant Saguaro.

Next my Saguaro cactus with over 1000 blooms on it.

How does the cactus survive with no water for a long time,
and just what makes a cactus a cactus?

A few cactus funnies before we get started.



Hummmmm; I'll have to meditate on this for a spell???

O'me o'my
this Arizona heat is going to be the death of me yet.

If you'd come a little closer, I'd give you a big HUG.

This not a cactus but I don't know just what it is.
The one thing I do know is, it has stickers just like a cactus
If you touch it, your going to get stuck, it has thorns just like a cactus.

 

You have sent me many E-mails asking,
"Why, don't I show a picture of the cacti by its name
so we can see it before we go to it"
