The Cacti of the Grand Canyon






Having had my abode in South Carolina, it has been a rarity for me to see desert cacti. These rare plants to the east find a perfect home in the Grand Canyon area. Based on research, three different variety of cacti are common in the Grand Canyon: Barrel Cacti (Pic 1), Prickly Pear Cacti (Pic. 2), and Hedgehog Cactii ( Pic 3.)Identifying plant life is a necessary component of ecology and an initial stage of critical thinking.
