Our local prickly pear

which I added for scale as it looks very different too.

Posting early today as I will not be able to tomorrow.

You can juice those fruits!

[Diana]

@blueberry1222 I eat them as they are Krista thanks, too much trouble juicing ;-)

[Elyse Klemchuk]

I like the bright colors of the cactus and the fruits! And the beautiful sky on my cloudy, rainy day.

Edited to say I see the Muppet feet!

[Shutterbug]

Beautiful against that blue sky. It looks like you are getting a pretty fair crop.

[Susan Wakely]

Great colours and pov.

[Cordiander]

Great pic! The fruits look fantastic.

[bkb in the city]

Very nice shot

[Dawn]

A nice shot of this prickly pear

[Beryl Lloyd]

A great shot !

[Joan Robillard]

Wonderful

[Linda Godwin]

Love all the little toes on it!

[Bucktree]

Lovely capture and beautiful color against the deep blue sky.

[Olwynne]

They do look like feet and I could just imagine Jim Henson (Muppets creator) getting inspiration from this plant

[Christine Sztukowski]

Lovely capture

[KoalaGardens🐨]

oooh it looks fab

[Mags]

Lots of them to enjoy!

[katy]

nice to see the comparison

I hope you are absent for fun rather than necessity!

[LManning (Laura)]

Quite the contrast!

[gloria jones]

It looks like it has a life of its own :).

[Swillin' Billy Flynn]

That's pretty. You don't expect cacti to pink pom-poms. :)

[Corinne C]

A fascinating plant!

[Renee Salamon]

such an interesting plant

[Rob Z]

I'm a little confused Diana - is this a composite of two different cacti? The one with the pink fruits is just fabulous.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Beautiful.

[Heather]

Great colours in the sunlight! Fascinating, too! Fav

[Diana]

@robz Yes it is a composite, I just took the round pink one off and put our local prickly pear in its place Rob. Many here did not get it, I suppose I should have described it better in my narrative ;-)

[Diana]

@grammyn Thanks Katy, a bit of both ;-)

[Christina]

Lovely shot

[Kathy A]

Fabulous shapes and colours

[Valerie Chesney]

They are amazing ..

[haskar]

A wonderful capture. It looks very healthy.

[Brigette]

Such a fascinating plant and flower

[Issi Bannerman]

On the right they look like fat toes, on the left, much more edible. :-)

[Ann H. LeFevre]

It makes me think of a foot with extra toes!

[Diana]

@christinav @kjarn @happysnaps @haskar @brigette @jamibann @olivetreeann Many thanks :-)

[Steve Chappell]

Nice
