I just picked up about 100 lbs of Opuntia cochenillifera. Thank goodness it's spineless, because I think the flowers are spectacular. I especially love how the flower buds start from green, to a bright yellow and then eventually to reddish orange flowers. Maybe they should call it the 'Stoplight Cholla'.
Cuttings available by the flat-rate boxfull. $19.99 Will have rooted plants available Dec 2010.
Makes EXCELLENT turtle or tortoise food.
Here I am again: October 2010, The Opuntia cochenillifera is directly behind me (photo below) with these giant bouquets of pups and flowers (shown above). To the right and left are Opuntia ficus-inda, Prickly Pear cactus.
