The state flower is the white
blossom of the saguaro, the largest cactus in the United States. The saguaro blossoms
appear on the tips of the long arms of the cactus during May and June. Next time you go
for a ride, ask your mom or dad to point out a saguaro cactus. You can tell them the state
flower grows on it in the spring!

What is a symbol?
| Many states have
symbols. A
symbol can be a thing or object that stands for something.
Symbols can paint a picture in your
mind about a state.
If you use your imagination, you can
see Arizona's symbols in the desert or in the mountains.
Each symbol was picked to show that
Arizona is different from other states. |
