For you, Michelle, and anyone else who wants to do a lesson on saguaro cactus.
I found this website that you might find interesting.

Some of the interesting facts are that the cactus only lives in a small area of the world.
It grows 1-1.5 inchesper year in its first 8 years.
It's between 50-70 years before it starts to develop arms.
They are believed to live up to 200 years.
Commander said the cactus he was standing by was about 20 feet tall.
Loving God, blessed to homeschool three boys with my wonderful Army husband of almost 20 years.

I did not know that! Thanks for the link. I bought some seeds to grow them- planted them but nothing happened. Maybe it takes longer than I thought! :)
Oh - and Happy Mother's day!
Wow!! thanks for the link!! That's pretty cool information!!
Hope you had a wonderful Mother's day!
So even without doing the math it's a really old cactus.
