The cacti (plural for cactus) are spiny plants
which grow in dry areas. The stems are green
and thick and they are used for water storage.
Their leaves are actually spines. There are
many types of cacti. Their stems have different
shapes, round or elongated. Cacti rarely bloom
and their flowers are short-lived.
The orchids are plants with decorative
flowers of unusual shapes. The flowers
attract insects which pollinate. In Europe,
orchids are indoor plants. They are grown in
greenhouses, but they can also grow in pots
if they have the right conditions. There are
