Prickly Pear
These really are some pretty flowers for an Opuntia. Usually they’re yellow or pale purple or yellowish-pale-purple.
Plus, after the flowers are gone, you get some delicious fruit. Everything you could ever want in a plant! And so easy to grow!
And did I mention that they make good fences – they really do keep people out of your back yard or off your property entirely. Nobody is getting through those hefty spines.
