Succulent

Even though succulent species are flowering plants, we thought it might be nice to add an example of plants that are able to survive with little water. Instead of leaves, succulents have fleshy structures that efficiently store water. Many succulents have also developed thorns for protection. Many animals in arid environments feed on succulents because they provide a source of water in their tissues. This image displays a spiral pattern that several succulents have developed. Their growth is not a random growth like a tree or weed. They grow in specific geometric patterns.
