So…sharp! Very nice

The spikes look lethal. No wonder it is a bugger to get rid of this plant. I believe it is a nightmare for farmers

Wonderful close up of all the prickly details.

That's what a prickly pear looks like? I have only heard of them in Baloo's song in The Jungle Book lol. I don't think I would want to touch those spines

[Kathy A]

@casablanca they look nicer when those cup parts have flowers in them
