A saguaro cactus in the Sonoran Desert, near Marana, north of Tucson, Arizona

The saguaro cactus, native to southern Arizona (and a bit of neighoring Mexico and California) is legendary for its uplifted "arms." But as this image, taken in the Sonoran Desert near Marana, north of Tucson, Arizona, illustrates, the plant begins as a single, stubby, cucumber-shaped shaft on which the appendages eventually appear, but not until the cactus is 70 years old or so
