The Story
Another of Sean’s favorite, early childhood succulents, one that still entrances him, and can only be described as “cute” -- the opuntia that is -- with nearly perfectly round pads dressed in tiny clusters of pale glochids -- which, by the way, are not cute, as they get in ones clothing. Cute yellow flowers in summer, too. Though most often grown as a container plant, the species is hardy outdoors in USDA zone 8 or above if kept extremely dry in winter. This came from a decidedly zone 7 place, an old garden in Albuquerque, NM. Full sun or brightest windowsill for best appearance.
