As my time comes nearing it's end, I reflect
So many great memories, too little time and something I learned
The Saguaro Cactus
Takes a long time to grow, first 8 years 1-1.5 inches
35 years before it's first flower
Usually 50-75 years before it grows it's first branch, which they grow only for balance
Reaches adult hood at 125 years, lives to 200 years
The bloom is the state flower of Arizona
Can weigh 6 tons
No matter what activity or whom you talk to out here as soon as they find out your not from here the Saguaro is usually mentioned. So it reminded me of a poem of the Saguaro I read here maybe 6-7 years ago. It is by Ian Shamir
1. Get plenty of sunshine
2. Accentuate your strong points
3. Be patient through the dry spells
4. Conserve your resources
5. Wait for your time to bloom
6. Stay Sharp
I think I finally get it. Until next time well wishes to everyone and thanks for stopping by to visit.
