The 100 Year Old Cactus

1983, hardcover edition, Four Winds Press, NY. Children's title, with splendid color illustrations by Carol Lerner. Slender, oversize title describes the growth of a single Saguaro cactus, from a seed to a vigorous plant. It takes nearly 100 years for this plant to achieve full maturity. Here is that story of this unique giant cactus that offers food and shelter for animals living in the dry deserts of Arizona. Great illustrations throughout. Most attractive title.
