The saguaro cactus or Carnegiea gigantea is iconic and has come to represent not only Arizona where they grow but also deserts in general. This mature specimen is likely over 100 years old. It is growing a small cactus collection located in the Mesa, Arizona Park of the Canals. The saguaro blossom is the state flower of Arizona. You can barely see the flowers on the tops of the long saguaro arms.
