This is a good start for my opuntia trial. I have two "Texas Opuntia Cuttings" via Amazon. I imagine these are just some cactus pads that someone in San Antonio went outside and cut off a larger cactus. "
The Mother plants are direct offspring from some of the San Antonio
Missions including the Alamo! A large cactus with flattened, mostly
spiny stems that produce deep red, juicy and sweet fruits.". They are labeled as "Spineless Thornless Prickly Pear, Nopal Verde Opunti" which I can't find anywhere, but suspect they are
Opuntia Engelmannii. The others were posted last week.
If nothing else, they will be interesting in the sunroom for the winter, and require minimal or no watering.
Random pic of one of the largest bumblebees I have seen this year. Haven't seen any in months.
Sprouting peach seed from last week or so. Planted in seed starting medium. This one is from "Oregon Curl Free".
