Cacti are thorny plants that grow in dry and arid areas because they have the capacity to store water inside. They are very resistant and love sunlight.

In the many visits I made to the cactus area in the Botanical Garden of Rio de Janeiro I was surprised by the delicacy of the flowers in contrast to the plant.

 

This is Tacinga palmadora, very common in the hinterlands of Northeast Brazil. The color of the flower oscillates between red and intense orange.
