cactus blooms are often underrated and forgotten - I love when they appear in our garden - no Prickly pear here though as most species are considered weeds or potential weeds in most states of Australia. Indian fig (Opuntia ficus-indica) is the only one allowed to be sold in NSW.

@annied Thank you, Annie. I have a few of these that have grown up wild in the yards. They are a native species for us. =)
June 20th, 2024  
@marlboromaam lovely to have as a native - do you eat the fruit?
June 21st, 2024  
@annied LOL! I would if I could get to it before the critters do. =)

@marlboromaam hahaha we have the same problem with our small fig and something also ate a pot of parsley in the back yard - luckily we have heaps growing in the front
