my fishing rod and my brother brought his sport equipment. When everything was ready, we left
for the camping site in countryside.

my father and I went fishing. We joined other people sitting on the rock near the river.

A cactus (plural: cacti) is any member of the plant family Cactaceae, native to the Americas.
They are often used as ornamental plants, but some are also crop plants. Cacti are grown for
protection of property from wild animals, as well as many other uses.
Cacti are part of the plant order Caryophyllales, which also include members like beets,
gypsophila, spinach, amaranth, tumbleweeds, carnations, rhubarb, buckwheat, plumbago,
bougainvillea, chickweed and knotgrass.
Cacti are unusual and distinctive plants, which are adapted to extremely arid and hot
environments, showing a wide range of anatomical and physiological features which conserve water.
Their stems have adapted to become photosynthetic and succulent, while the leaves have become the
spines for which cacti are well known.
Cacti come in a wide range of shapes and sizes. The tallest is Pachycereus pringlei, with a
maximum recorded height of 19.2 m, and the smallest is Blossfeldia liliputiana, only about 1 cm in
diameter at maturity. Cactus flowers are large, and like the spines and branches arise from areoles.
Many cactus species are night blooming, as they are pollinated by nocturnal insects or small animals,
principally moths and bats. Cacti range in size from small and globular to tall and columnar.
