The state flower of Arizona is the saguaro cactus blossom. This white, waxy flower blooms on the saguaro cactus, which is a symbol of the Sonoran Desert and Arizonaโs arid landscapes. The saguaro cactus can live for over 150 years, and its blossoms typically appear in late spring or early summer. The flower is essential for the cactus’s reproduction and is pollinated by bees, bats, and birds. The saguaro cactus blossom was designated as Arizonaโs state flower in 1931, representing the unique desert environment and the iconic plant of the region.
