Like other cacti it has flowers but the unique thing about this cactus is that the flowers grow near the steam of the cactus instead of the top. ]]> 2020-10-02 19:34:16 UTC https://padlet.com/cladas26/ous7919xj0w2866i/wish/798944496 Effects of Climate Change cegolf26 https://padlet.com/cladas26/ous7919xj0w2866i/wish/799084055 The annual temperature in NM has started to rise by .6 degrees F. It is also the 6th fastest warming state in the nation. Since the snow is melting earlier it is reducing the amount of water that we get in parts of the year that we need it more. There are also more frequent wildfires due to lack of rain. ]]> 2020-10-02 20:38:59 UTC https://padlet.com/cladas26/ous7919xj0w2866i/wish/799084055
