I spotted this #OpuntiaMicrodasys pad while walking around the Carlsbad hotel grounds where I had been vacationing. It had broken off and was on the ground. I was with my sister and it was one of those "Quick, put this in your purse!" moments. (Just kidding. She doesn't use purses.) #bunnyearscactus
