Green, Olive, White

Far to the north and east the
trunks stood out sharply with their
lighter green against the deeper
green of the paloverde and mes
quite. The prevailing color of the
entire area is green, the mesquite
an olive green, the saguaro light
olive, the tip of every great stem
almost white with it's cottony are
oles and spines. Passing on across
a dry sandy wash, lined with mes
quite and paloverde and acacia, and
climbing the next ridge through an
avenue of saguaro columns, we saw
a neverending variety of forms, no
two exactly alike, yet the pattern
of development is very simple.
Again you climb steep ridge
through columns of giant saguaro
and come out upon plain studded
with an unusually fine group. The
stand is as dense as that of an or
binary yellow pine forest, and the
variation from plant to plant far
greater. Here are plants with arms
twisted in curious fashion, others
standing as lone columns, and still
others clustered in close groups.
Not the least interesting are the
skeletons of old saguaros from
which all the cortex has been wealth
cred away, leaving only a riblike
trunk. At the bases the ribs have
grown together into woody struc-
ture, but higher up these bundles
separate and form long woody rods.
These will stand for years if not cut
down or destroyed by campers or
woodcutters.

COnnserciaIised Cacti

You see numbers of the large bar
rel cactus, the bisnaga, which is in
flower in late September. The bar
fels, leaning toward the southeast,
hre capped by dense crowns of cop
per-red flowers and later by light
yellow spineless fruits. This cactus
has been used as a source of drink
ing water and also for making cac-
BUS candy, a practice generally dis
fouraged since it was rapidly de-
Ftroying one Of the most attractive
bf the larger cacti.
The ground is sometimes COM
bletely covered with the papery

Psilostrophe or the somewhat larg-

A bee pushes it's tongue into a
