I allow prickly pear cactus to grow in my yard. Letting them to grow carries consequences. First on the list of consequences is an occasional jab to my foot if I am not paying attention to where I am walking. Second, is a fair level of disapproval from some visitors.
The reward, however, is some of
the most spectacular teacup-sized blossoms known to me. The colors range from vivid yellow to salmon
to red.
Posted are two examples from
the current blooming cycle of the prickly pear.
Red Prickly Pear
Yellow Prickly Pear
