Winner of Contest #1

Congratulations! Almerry is the winner of Contest #1.

(There's also a handmade Christmas ornament that I'm working on!)

If you were lost in the Sonoran Desert, the pulp of the saguaro cactus would be an excellent source of water.

FALSE!



"Many cacti contain high concentrations of oxalic acid and would be more likely to make a hapless wanderer ill than to quench their thirst."


************

I've always believed than you could/should eat a cactus if you were lost in the desert. Looks like we all thought that! According to the internet, you can eat a "barrel cactus", the saguaro could actually poison you! See, I could have just saved your life with this little 'ole question!



Question #2 will be posted on Friday morning, will end on Sunday at Midnight! This one will be for handmade Christmas Ornaments.
