Is cactus a flower

Answer 1

It is a flower on a cactus.

Answer 2

No, not all cactus plants grow flowers. In fact, some that do flower may not do so under certain conditions. For example, some cactus plants flower in the wild, but refuse to do so in cultivation.

Answer 3

Oh yes, cactus do flower; ocotilla for one. Check out paintings by Georgia O'Keefe. Desert dwellers can list many others.

Note: Ocotillo is not a true cactus. For much of the year, the plant appears to be an arrangement of large spiny dead sticks, although closer examination reveals that the stems are partly green. With rainfall, the plant quickly becomes lush with small (2-4 cm), ovate leaves, which may remain for weeks or even months.

Answer 4

Answer 5

No.

Answer 6

Yes.
