Glass Frame : Cactus plant spines
Mounted Prints from Science Photo Library
Cactus plant spines
Cactus plant. Tip of a polka dot cactus plant (Opuntia microdasys). This cactus originates from Mexico. It grows up to 90 centimetres high and spreads nearly 2 metres wide if allowed. Cacti evolved in arid environments, and have tissues adapted to minimise water loss. Cactus leaves are reduced to narrow spines (white), and the plant surface is covered in a thick, waxy outer layer. Many cacti also have a means of storing water

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a cactus plant, specifically the tip of a polka dot cactus (Opuntia microdasys) originating from Mexico. Standing tall at up to 90 centimeters and spreading nearly 2 meters wide when given enough space, this remarkable species has adapted to thrive in arid environments. To combat water loss, cacti have evolved unique tissues that minimize evaporation. In this image, we can observe how the leaves of the cactus have transformed into narrow spines, creating an elegant display reminiscent of delicate white polka dots against a vibrant green backdrop. The entire surface of the plant is protected by a thick layer of waxy coating. One cannot help but marvel at nature's ingenuity as these succulent plants store water within their structures, ensuring survival during extended periods without rainfall. This photograph not only captures the visual allure of South American flora but also serves as a reminder of their resilience and ability to adapt to harsh conditions. Science Photo Library presents this stunning print for all nature enthusiasts who appreciate botanical wonders. Let yourself be transported to desert landscapes where these spiky yet enchanting specimens flourish in their natural habitat – an ode to life's tenacity even in seemingly inhospitable surroundings.
