The Sonoran Desert, where they have to be because it’s the only place those Saguaro cacti grow, actually is a place where many different but beautiful plants grow. It is not the barren desert portrayed here.
Those cacti may well in the future become victims of climate change in that they can only grow in a specific environment; if it gets warmer or colder or if they get not enough rain or too much they won’t survive.
The unusually high amount of precipitation which fell in the Southwest this winter is expected to bring forth a “superbloom” to the desert this spring. It’s not so much a case of “April showers bring May flowers” but “December to February showers bring March to July flowers”
Not sure if it’s perversely admirable or just pathetic that people cling to their propaganda even as it’s disproven by events, and rising insurance premiums, all around them.
Most don’t remember that most of the southwest was part of the Western Interior Seaway (also called the Cretaceous Seaway, the Niobraran Sea, the North American Inland Sea, and the Western Interior Sea)

Some cacti grow flowers. We have one in a pot that’s had a beautiful orange flower for a year.

I’m in Arizona just a few miles north of where the saguaros stop growing.
We woke up to snow yesterday morning.

MTG. Sun and Fern all believe that the NY earthquake and the eclipse are “signs” from the “bible” – the Trump bible.
