Iconic Saguaro

The saguaro is an icon of Arizona and is used frequently in advertising. The iconic saguaro has only two arms on opposite sides of the main trunk. Most times one is a bit higher than the other.

In the natural world, it is difficult to find such a creation. However, on a recent hike with the park hikers, we did find this almost iconic version of a saguaro on the Douglas Springs trail.

Not only is it an icon of Arizona, it has buds and a couple of blossoms on the left arm.
