T<\/del>he Jardin des M\u00e9diterran\u00e9es<\/em> \u2018plays host\u2019 to another type of landscape, a neighbour of the Mediterranean climate of California.
\nIt is a landscape of succulent plants and cacti growing in arid climates in the south-western United States (Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and Nevada), and in north-western Mexico (Chihuahua, Durango, Sonora and Zacatecas). These regions are subject to a climate characterised by a long, hot dry season and low rainfall (less than 400 mm).<\/p>\n

Vegetation dominated by two botanical families<\/h2>\n

The vegetation represented is dominated by two botanical families: the Cactaceae<\/strong><\/em> and the Asparagaceae<\/strong><\/em>.
\nThe Asparagaceae<\/em> are represented by agaves, furcreas, yuccas<\/strong> and dasylirions<\/strong>.
\nThe Cactaceae<\/em> are represented by opuntias<\/strong> (Barbary fig<\/strong> or racket cactus<\/strong>), cereus<\/strong> and ball cacti<\/strong>. Cacti are particularly well adapted to drought, storing water in their stems and minimising their surface area to reduce evaporation. They are also very \u2018prickly\u2019 plants.
\nCacti’s water storage system lies in their thick ribbed stem which enables the plant’s body to expand and retract during periods of rainfall and drought.
\nThey have no leaves and a thick epidermis, in order to reduce their surface area and minimise evaporation.
\nTheir spines provide protection against animals, are a tool for capturing dew, and protect the epidermis against the heat of the sun, the drying wind and the cold of high altitudes.<\/p>\n

\n

The characteristics of these plants<\/h2>\n

These plants are pollinated at night by bats and moths, again to limit evapotranspiration.
\nThey live on very well-drained soils, on rocky mountain slopes with little vegetation. They are easily acclimatised to the C\u00f4te d’Azur, on a well-drained south-facing hillside. To form a rock garden, the soil should be covered with a mineral litter; this will draw in heat during the day and restore it at night.<\/p>\n
