I will never get tired of cacti and their multitude of uses (plus they look awesome and are incredibly easy to care for). This neat plant, for example, has hooked spines that can be used as sewing needles and fish hooks! I mean for real, multi-purpose items are kind of like the holy grail of hiking and backpacking, and by extension surviving in harsh desert environments like the ancient southwestern Native Americans did. Not only is this plant useful in more than one way, it's pleat-like folds swell to soak up water during rare rain showers, making it a barrel, indeed!
