Cacti are fascinating plants. They flourish in dry, hot climates. How
do they retain the moisture that other plants cannot? Because cacti wait
until the cooler hours in the night to open tiny pores that take in
carbon dioxide, and therefore avoid losing moisture through the pores.
Contrary to popular myths, most cacti flower at least once a year.
The flowers on cacti can be in a wide range of colors and flower sizes.
Cacti can be found growing out of rocks and in the harshest of
environments. This site explores the diversity of the cactus plant. |
