Flowers
of
Arid Lowlands |
|
|
|
| This Arid Zone is the largest area in
the Galapagos and comprises the regions in the lowlands
as one leaves the coastal zone and moves inward. Many of
the plants drop their leaves in the dry season and large
stretches of the region look dead or dying. But actually
the plants wait for the rains to begin to shoot out
green leaves quickly, set flowers and fruit. This is the
region where you can find those large opuntia cacti
trees. |
