What is 'saguaro' in English?

Saguaro Carnegiea gigantea isn't a Spanish word. The 16th century explorers of the New World adapted the native Tohono O'odham term for the cactus, to the sounds and writing of the Spanish language The word refers to a longlived, slow-growing, slow-reproducing cactus plant. The saguaro can take 75 years to develop sidearms; reach 60' in height; produce an edible, ruby-red, sweet fruit; and live as long as 150 years.

Its night-blooming white blossom, which requires pollination by the Lesser Long-nosed Bat Leptonycteris yerbabuenae, has been honored as the state flower of Arizona In fact, the plant's native to the Sonoran desert of Arizona, California just a bit, and the Mexican states of Baja California and Sonora. And it's important to the ecology of the region. For it's a popular nesting site for Gila woodpeckers Melanerpes uropygialis, gilded flickers Colaptes chrysoides, house finches Carpodacus mexicanus, and purple martins Progne subis.

Unfortunately, no good deed may go unpunished. For the holes that these nesters dig into the stems may be enough to send the saguaro spiraling into steady decline, or even quick death.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
