About it

A cactus is a plant built to live where rain is rare. Its thick green stem stores water, and its spines are leaves that have changed shape: they shade the stem and keep hungry animals away. The stem, not leaves, does the work of turning sunlight into food.

Tap it and nine magenta flowers open one after another in a ring around the top, then close again. Many cacti bloom for only a few days a year, and some flowers open for just one night.
