Dang that first one's pretty. Love the different colors of the blossoms.
That is one of my favorites, not only is it a pretty plant, it also produces large tender pads that have very few spines for the tortoises to eat without a whole lot of cleaning. This is a 12 inch pad, The real spines come later in the season though, Also it does great in the cold, wet, sub freezing temperatures we get over winter. I almost forgot about the fruit, already I have picked 400 from this bunch in the russian area. Here are 300 of those waiting to be fed off.Dang that first one's pretty. Love the different colors of the blossoms.
No kidding!Dang that first one's pretty. Love the different colors of the blossoms.
