Here's a breakdown of the flora you requested:

Cacti [Image of Cactus]

• Habitat: Deserts, dry areas


• Type: Succulent (stores water in fleshy stems)


• Adaptation: Spines to reduce water loss, shallow roots to absorb quick rain

Cacti are superstars of dry places. They have thick, fleshy stems that store water and spines that help reduce water loss. Their shallow roots help them quickly absorb any rain that falls.

Shrubs [Image of Shrub]

• Habitat: Varied (deserts, grasslands, forests)


• Type: Woody plants smaller than trees


• Examples: Rose bushes, lilac bushes, holly bushes

Shrubs are woody plants that are smaller than trees. They come in many shapes and sizes and can be found in a variety of habitats. Some shrubs have beautiful flowers that attract pollinators.

Wildflowers [Image of Wildflower]

• Habitat: Meadows, fields, roadsides


• Type: Herbaceous plants (not woody) with flowers


• Examples: Black-eyed Susan, daisy, poppy

Wildflowers are beautiful, non-woody plants with flowers. They often grow in meadows, fields, and along roadsides. Wildflowers are important for pollinators like bees and butterflies.

Evergreen Trees [Image of Evergreen Tree]

• Habitat: Varied (forests, mountains)


• Type: Trees that keep their leaves year-round


• Examples: Pine trees, spruce trees, holly trees

Evergreen trees are trees that keep their leaves all year round. Their leaves are often coated with a waxy layer to help prevent water loss in cold weather.

Mosses and Lichens [Image of Moss] [Image of Lichen]

• Habitat: Damp, shaded areas (forests, rocks)


• Type:
  
  
  
  • Moss: Non-vascular plant that grows low to the ground
  
  
  • Lichen: A combination of fungus and algae that grows on rocks or other surfaces
  
  
  
  


• Importance: Provide habitat for small animals and help prevent soil erosion

Mosses and lichens are small, non-flowering plants that often grow in damp, shaded areas. Mosses are low-growing and carpet-like, while lichens can be crusty, leafy, or hair-like. They both play an important role in the environment by providing habitat for small animals and helping to prevent soil erosion.

Berries [Image of Berry]

• Habitat: Varied (forests, mountains, gardens)


• Type: Fleshy fruit that surrounds a seed


• Examples: Blueberries, strawberries, raspberries

Berries are fleshy fruits that develop from the flower of a flowering plant. They come in many different colors, sizes, and flavors. Berries are an important food source for many animals, including birds and bears.
