Believe it or not, I have an Opuntia in my garden...but didn't even think of it for the letter O! Mine's Opuntia polyacantha, a prickly pear native to Saskatchewan, Canada.

No sabia que es digués així. Quan era petita en teníem una en un test, i els meus germans i jo sempre ens referíem a aquest cactus com "el burro", per les dues grans orelles que tenia!

I have several Opuntias in my garden but didn't realize that was what they were called. Thanks for the education! Nice healthy looking cactii by the way, and lovely pics, too. That first one looks like Mickey Mouse.
