Sagauros in Arizona

Last night was bingo night at the RV Park!  I told my friend Peggy that we were playing bingo and she said "you have finally consumated your retirement"!!!!   Ted and I have played at a couple of RV parks before and never won anything.  Last night we both won a bingo of $40 each!  Whoo-hoo!

While out looking for a nail place yesterday I saw a couple of Sagauros Cacti and took these pictures.  This extraordinary plant exists only in the Sonoran Desert - unique to Arizona except for a few strays in neighboring states and northern Mexico.  They weigh at least 6 tons or more and reach 150-175 years on average.  The arms don't form until a saguaro is 50-75 years old!  Seed production is 40 million in a lifetime with roots radiating web a few inches under the ground!
