Who gave me the hardy cactus at the RU a few years back?

Athens, OH

The cactus is doing beautifully! I have several strong pads and it has flowered. The spines are incredible (about 2 inches long on some of the pads).
Thank you!

Also..do you know the Latin name?

Many thanks, ROX

Hi Rox! Wasn't me...lol! Is that the Prickely Pear Cactus...yellow flowers? That's the only one I know that is hardy here.
