*** About Cacti: Cacti are uniquely adapted to thrive in arid environments like deserts. Their thick, fleshy stems store water, while the spines protect them from herbivores and provide shade. Most cacti feature roots that spread wide and shallow, maximizing rainwater capture. These plants bloom under specific conditions, often triggered by temperature changes signaling the arrival of the rainy season. Their flowers are not only beautiful but also play a crucial role in the ecosystem, providing nourishment to pollinators such as bees and bats. Over millions of years, cacti have evolved to exist in some of the most punishing environments on Earth, making them emblematic of endurance and adaptation.
