We planted a couple of smaller saguaro cacti near the entrance to the RV pull-thru. These, unlike the 13-foot “big guy,” are only about four feet tall. We call them LG1 and LG2 (LG for little guy). This is a close-up I took of LG1 this morning. Click on the image to enlarge.
All three saguaro cacti were delivered and planted by David Morales, a cactus farmer in Congress AZ. Dave has been on “Dirty Jobs” on the Discovery Channel transplanting a 20 footer to a private home. He also has planted several saguaros for George Strait, the well-known country and western entertainer.
I was a lot closer and a lot more personal with those needles on many of my hiking trips while in AZ. Ouch but it’s a dry ouch, well dry until the blood starts to flow.
Funny. A dry ouch. When we got the Big Guy I told Cap’n I’d like to hug it . . .He stopped me.
