The saguaro National Park of Arizona has been described as the monarch of the Sonoran Desert, as a prickly horror, as the supreme symbol of the American Southwest, and as a plant with personality. It is renowned for the variety of odd, all-too-human shapes it assumes, shapes that inspire wild and fanciful imaginings. Giant saguaro cacti, unique to the Sonoran Desert, sometimes reach a height of 50 feet in this cactus forest, which covers the valley floor, rising into the Rincon and West Tucson mountains. Since 1933 this extraordinary giant cactus has been protected within Saguaro National Park. Preserved along with it are many other members of the Sonoran Desert community--other cacti, desert trees and shrubs, and animals. In lushness and variety of life the Sonoran Desert far surpasses all other North American deserts
This photo is Echinobivia Hybrid "Rainbow Burst" cactus flower......It cought my eye piece for its beautiful purple flower and it was standing pretty at the front of me..while i was in Arizona ..and i had to capture it....I found out that Rainbow Bursts...... are so named for their spectacular display of flowers during the spring and summer. These Flowers can be to 5" in diameter, and appear in all shades of white, gold, yellow, orange, pink, red, vivid purple and sometimes even bicolors!................. These hybrids are crosses (combined genetics) of Echinopsis species and Lobivia species, thus the name Echinobivia. The best characteristics of both genera are combined to create a robust, vigourously blooming and easy to care for plant. Bright light enhances flowering. Porous cactus soil with adequate drainage..........................prefers bright light and ample airflow. Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch. Protect from frost.
