Desert lillys can survive by changing there colour or drying up there surface so it can hide its self from thhe threatning sun.

It also draws some moisture from its core to cool itsself down. if it can find some moisture in the groung is clings to is as if it is is life!

IS usually does not grow in hot erias it as small so they usually grow beneath rocks or near moisture!

They change there colour. hey can actually walk so it surches for moisture!

Desert lilies survive in arid environments by adapting to conserve water and store it in their bulbs during dry periods. They have evolved with long roots that reach deep into the ground to access water sources. Additionally, they bloom quickly after rare desert rains to take advantage of the short periods of moisture.

Some (like the Saguaro) develop Accordion-like surface structures to conserve what little water they do receive. They might also develop deep root systems, to seek moisture far underground. They might also flower only at night, to avoid the withering effects of solar radiation. Some will only grow in arroyos (or valleys) where water can more easily be found underground. Others will only grow in shady areas, or near shady-bearing trees and shrubs. Some don't even have leaves, they just have needles!
