I’ve learned a lot about desert plants. While my preference may still be towering trees and lush undergrowth, I love this landscape for its resilience, its patience, its creative ways of gathering water and sunlight. A garden of cactus (cacti, cactuses…). I’ll be leaving saguaro country soon for higher altitudes and will miss their personalities. Examples here include a woodpecker condo, the rare crested saguaro, and the bizarre boojum tree.
