I'm not sure I planted these prickly pears right. They're not leaning over like the other species is. I guess that is a good sign.

No idea what this is. There is a lot of new growth on top.

Again, no idea what this is, but it has doubled in size.

The flowers seem a little different then the first time.

Hope we get some loofahs this time.

Now if I can just keep it alive.

I couldn't resist the color.


I put them on the north side of my back wall under a dwarf palm for filtered light.
