2012 - Interesting Trips - Phoenix Saguaro Cactus

Saguaro Cactus:

The most striking thing about Phoenix are the huge cactus called Saguaro.

You can catch a glimpse of these giants right at the Phoenix Sky harbor airport

Saguaro is an Indian word. The correct pronunciation is "sah-wah-ro" or "suh-wah-ro." The formal name is Carnegiea gigantea. It was named for Andrew Carnegie.

Thanks to my colleagues for a nice trip to the south mountain. The mountain range has large number of these
gentle giants. Some snaps I took
