The Saguaro Cactus

     You talk about tall!!!  This is my nephew, Logan, standing beside a Saguaro Cactus in the Sonoran Desert.  Logan is six feet two inches tall. You can see that he looks like a midget in comparison to this giant cactus.  This is the largest cactus growing in the Sonoran Desert and can be found no place else on earth.
