What may be blooming in Tucson in April.

Tucson is an area of just over 1 million that still feels like a much smaller city.  It is surrounded on all sides by beautiful mountains and is in the very heart of the Sonoran Desert, a truly remarkable and one of a kind desert.  Tucson is known for it's tall columnar Cacti... the saguaro. When you land at the airport you are greeted by the Saguaro.  The native peoples of the Tucson area believe that each cacti harbors a soul of one of their ancestors and each Cacti is truly unique and certainly has a personality of it's own.
