Plant Adaptations Activity Question 3

HOW TO PLAY:   Choose one of the photos below that best matches the plant adaptation described. Drought evaders are plants that live only where there is a lot of water. Potholes, seeps, springs, rivers and streams are examples of places where there is water in the desert. In Arches National Park, drought evader plants might grow near the Colorado River or in Courthouse Wash. 3. Which plant below best illustrates a drought evader?
