Cereus Pillows
Description: The saguaro (pronounced swauro) is Cereus giganteus - giant cactus - the icon of the American west - grows only in the Sonoran Desert in Arizona, northern Mexico, and a tiny slice of California. Indigenous people in the area often thought of them as people, and indeed they are - because of their strong individuality and bodies full of water like humans. They symbolize strength, resilience, and sovereignty found in rare, magical forms of being. Providing home and sustenance for countless other desert creatures, they are a reminder of the miracle of life in its most wondrous ways.
