Opuntia humifusa is a Prickly Pear Cactus of the US East Coast. This plant species has few spines but is covered in glochids at each areole that easily embed in skin, so it’s not a good choice for beginners. There are several pads showing new buds that will either become new pads or flowers, which are bright yellow. Last year it had twenty flowers blooming over a one week period. #portland #oregon #gardening #cactus #succulents

My personal experience with this plant has me treating it as rain tolerant (with fast draining soil and a clay pot). -
