Cacti, the plural name for the humble cactus, have earned a well-deserved reputation over the years for being prickly and unwelcoming. Although not all plants in this family feature spines or thorns, all the most well-known types do sport some kind of painful protective feature. Both the spineless and painful varieties of cactus can produce flowers that are shockingly beautiful, especially for a bloom developing in a harsh desert environment. Integrate a new flower into your personal symbol set to expand your options for expressing yourself through nature’s beauty.
