More Desert Plants

We walked in the other direction along the fence this afternoon. This staghorn cactus is in the midst of the mesquite bushes -


This very old saguaro is amazing. If you look closely, you can see, in spite of its center top being broken off many years ago, it has little "arms" trying to grow from the middle. It's hard to tell how old it might be. We've been told they are at least a hundred years old before they start sending out arms...


This is a view of Auntie Violet looking back at her from the fence. This is the other side from the picture I posted yesterday. As you can see, we are parked facing out towards the Verde River Valley, instead of into the park. On the far left of the coach is a mesquite tree with the Palo Verde tree closest to the coach. The rig on our right is the same neighbor we had last year.
