I love the desert. It is a barren area of landscape lacking precipitation.
Are there any flowers in there? 
The desert creates a very hostile living environment for most plants.
I knew there are cactus but was unsure if other plants lived there. Do you know how they live? 
I am not sure if there is any other plant than a cactus that can survive there.
Are there many animals there? 
There are some animals in the desert that can withstand the conditions, but the loving conditions are mostly hostile for most animal life
