These are plants that have adapted to live in desert conditions. Cacti are probably the most well known plants used in xeriscaping — dry landscaping — but we also have the agave from which we can get tequila. The saguaro can grow to 40 feet (12 metres) tall whereas the beavertail cactus (which I know as a prickly pear cactus) is only about 2 - 15 inches (70 - 400 mm). The last one is a barrel cactus which is known to sometimes fall over because it grows based on sun orientation, though as it tilts towards the southwest it can also be a compass guide for travellers.
for the letter X - xeric (dry)
If anyone has a special topical that they collect, let me know and it can be included in our new round of themes, starting August 25th.

The word xeric and the technique of xeriscaping are new to me. The stamp fits this perfectly.
You can find my Xs here - http://bit.ly/31e6DTm
Xerophile plants are a nice topic. I have some at home and, recently, I published a post about succulent stamps too! :)
But my post for the X letter is another one, see here.
A new X word for me, I like it and the stamps.
