*** About Cholla Cactus: Cholla cactus, belonging to the Cactaceae family and native to the Southwestern United States and Northern Mexico, are known for their distinctive segmented branches and prolific spines that glow under sunlight. These cacti thrive under the extreme conditions of desert environments, adapting to the sparse rainfall and high temperatures. Cholla species are crucial to the desert biome—they provide habitat and nourishment to a variety of wildlife. Their blooming periods bring bursts of color to the arid landscapes, making them a subject of interest for both ecologists and photographers. Despite their rugged appearance, chollas demand respect due to their barbed spines that can easily detach and attach to passersby, a survival mechanism that ensures their propagation in rough terrains.
