In January I had the opportunity to spend three days at the Phoenician resort in Scottsdale, Arizona near Phoenix. While golfing with some friends from work I took a minute to look at this dead cactus. I don't suppose they leave decaying plants very long at a place as posh as the Phoenician but I was really intrigued by the internal structure of the plant. I think this is a generic saguaro cactus but I would have never expected to see the vertical support structure as separate woody sticks. This is truly a unique plant that has adapted to live in a harsh, dry environment.
