Hot hot hot in California

It seems even the saguro cactus are dying.I loved seeing these amazing plants and hope they get some help soon.

From The Desert Sun newspaper: Arizona's saguaro cacti, a symbol of the U.S. West, are leaning, losing arms and in some cases falling over as record-breaking extreme heat consumes the state, Reuters has reported. Summer monsoon rains the cacti rely on have yet to come, testing the desert plants' ability to survive in the wild as well as in cities after temperatures soared above 110 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 days in Phoenix, Tania Hernandez, a succulents cactus scientist at Phoenix's Desert Botanical Garden, told Reuters. Phoenix's Desert Botanical Garden, which covers an area of 140 acres, has over 2/3 of all cactus species, including saguaros which can grow to over 40 feet tall. "These plants are adapted to this heat, but at some point, the heat needs to cool down and the water needs to come," said Hernandez.
