Gardening in mostly deep shade in Zone 6. My passion is adding more native plants to my landscape & clearing out the foreign invasives.

Very nice Snow Prickly Pear. I have one that’s about 3 feet tall. Started mine about 3 years ago, #veryhairy there actually soft and no nasty spines

Having fallen into a patch of these during a trip to Florida some years ago, @docthrill I am unwilling to believe you about that lol

Zoom in closer Eileen, you won’t see a single spike 😊

Photos don't zoom on this app, @docthrill and it's not the visible spikes that get you anyway; it's the nearly-invisible, hairlike spinelets that burrow under your skin like porcupine quills... (shudder)

IF you have an iSO device, you CAN zoom in! Others with Android still, sadly, can not. 🙄
