Pink Flamingo in Red

All around here in the desert you’ll see a cactus that appears very much to be the saguaro associated with the Sonoran Desert up around Tucson, Arizona.  Tucson is rather dear to me, as it’s where I met and married the love of my life, whom you’ve met in many of my travel articles.  But I digress.  We were talking cactii here.  These cactii at the southern tip of the Baja are not saguaro.  They’re the world’s largest, however — the towering cardón cactus (pachycereus pringlei,or elephant cactus).  These monsters can grow to 70 feet/21 meters and weigh 25 tons/22.7 metric tons!  Here are some smaller examples:
