Description
The giant saguaro cactus is, among other things, a symbol in the Southwest. It is a marker identifying the range of the Sonoran Desert, the only place it can survive; it is a symbol of life, providing safe nesting for birds and bearing succulent fruit utilized by the Papage Indians; its flowers, which bloom at night, are symbols of the delicate environmental balance necessary for survival in the desert. It is indeed the center of the universe in its ecological web, which is portrayed in prose and photographs (taken by Hal Coss) in this book. - from Amzon
