TAGGED “X” XERARCH
I had a hard time coming up with a photo starting with “X”. So I had to be a little bit more creative in my post. I choose a word to describe something in the same manner as our host Frizz did in his post.
I picked the word XERARCH. The word means, originating in a dry habitat, such as a rocky shore, cliff, or desert.
These photos of cactus were taken in Arizona on my way to a tour of the Grand Canyon. Some of the photos were taken from a moving car.
Most cacti live in habitats subject to at least some drought. Many live in extremely dry environments.

I think cactic are highly underrated. There is so much variety and they are amazing plants, the way they survive. And they look so unique. Nice photos of them.

It’s raining tremendously here so the computer is being a bit fussy. Hope I get this all in.
LOVE … the Letter X you’ve chosen. XERARCH – a word that means originating in a dry habitat. My vocabulary has expanded by one word. Now, if I could jus pronounce it properly. ~~~~ : – )
Nice entry for the challenge ….

” XERARCH. The word means, originating in a dry habitat, such as a rocky shore, cliff, or desert…”
– thank you for that, Francine, it gives a pause – because in Germany actually is a great flood …
