Saguaro CU 9 - USE CODE "CNAB49" FOR ORDERING
|
The Saguaro
cactus, Carnegiea
gigantea, is found in Arizona and the Northern Mexico
state of Sonora. This is the largest cactus species found in the
United States of America, and can grow to over 50' high, weigh more
than 10 tons and live 200 years. This photo is of the dead skin
of one such saguaro I found while hiking around the Kofa
National Wildlife Refuge in January 2006. I really enjoyed the
coloration and the bizarre scarring. This also comes as part of
my saguaro cycle of life triptych. |
