Great photo, Lori. Is it as prickly as it looks?

no the spines are quite soft really... I seem to remember that spines serve a water retaining purpose in some plants...I think that's the case here...and perhaps to a lesser degree a deterent for insects or small animals who might otherwise try tasting it!
