There's so many different species with so many different colored flowers.
It does kind of remind me of a huge Christmas cactus, though.

I had one but strangely I reacted to the spines when they pricked me by coming out in a rash.

This is why I don't have any, spines! So many species of Opuntia grow wild here in the canyons and sides of the mesas.
I drove by thousands of Opuntia almost every day, that's good enough for me. LOL!

Glad that it's not just me that reacts ;)

I don't get a rash. I just don't like getting little spines in my hands. This is why I don't have Bougainvillea growing in the ground anymore, either. Bougainvillea's long thorns are worse.

wow- Looks more like a Christmas type Cactus. I don't think I've seen Opuntia in that color.
