Black is the color of the seed of the saguaro cactus plant (Carnegiea gigantea).
Specifically, the seed starts out about the size of a grain of sand. It needs the filtered shade of the mesquite bush and some rare desert rain in order to start growing. With the rain, the seed swells to twice its size. A few days later, it sends a long thin root down into the ground. It then sends two tiny seed leaves up through the soil. The mesquite protects the seed from the harsh sun and heat that can stop the seedling from ever reaching its mature height of 15 - 50 feet (4.572 - 15.24 meters).
