Description
The Prickly Pear Cactus is beloved for its blossoms and feared for its vicious spines. Some varieties produce yellow, red, and orange cup-shape flowers that last just one day while others retain their large clump of blooms for several weeks, providing delicate beauty among the thorns. The fleshy green pads are covered in long spines (sometimes as long as 3 inches) as well as clusters of small, barbed hairs known as glochids. When a Prickly Pear Cactus blooms you cannot miss it!
