The Lone Saguaro. Representative of the Sonoran Desert, including Saguaro Cactus, and Arizona, State of Arizona.

The saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) is one of the defining plants of the Sonoran Desert. These plants are large, tree-like columnar cacti that develop branches (or arms) as they age, although some never grow arms. These arms generally bend upward and can number over 25. Saguaros are covered with protective spines, white flowers in the late spring, and red fruit in summer.

Saguaros are found exclusively in the Sonoran Desert. The most important factors for growth are water and temperature. If the elevation is too high, the cold weather and frost can kill the saguaro. Although the the Sonoran Desert experiences both winter and summer rains, it is thought that the Saguaro obtains most of its moisture during the summer rainy season.

MY ARTWORK: I work in photography and watercolor painting. As you can see from my many Collections/Galleries, I see art and beauty in a wide variety of subjects. My interests vary from natural scenes including unaltered landscapes, to macro photography, to odd and unusual objects (some of which are hard to identify in photos - thus creating interest), to highly digitized abstract art. If you are in need of something special, or see something that you would like altered to fit your decor/style, please send me a private message or e-mail me through this site. If you have any problems on how to mat and frame a print, or have questions on the selection of print finishes available, please e-mail me through this site. You can follow...
