Why "mystic cactus"?

There is something special in the desert of Tucson and the nearby sky islands. It’s magical that the saguaro manage to tower so high, taunting the sun, flaunting their immunity to its bitter raging heat. May we all be blessed with the gumption and longevity of a Saguaro cactus!
