SIXTEEN inches tall? For only TWENTY FIVE dollars? I surely hope you know what a deal you got. That is just unbelievable! I am SO envious!!! But on the other hand, I sure hope that you are VERY young ... it's MY understanding, from the folks at the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum, that the Saguaro cactus is about one hundred years old when they start to grow their FIRST arms!
