Cactus pics from this year:

[Paul Ont]

A few shots from earlier this year.

My favourite Opuntia flower, 'Crystal tide'... It's self-seeded everywhere and I hope some of the seedlings will be winners:

Another favourite is this aff. polyacantha (rhodantha?) with purple pads:

An O. aurea (basilaris v. aurea) with dark pink flowers:

I would call this O. aurea, but the yellow stigma tells me it is not!

Nice cactus colors or is it colour in Canada?

You have some awesome Opuntia.

[bananieru]

Beautiful. That Crystal Tide is something special. Does it flower a lot? How can I get a cutting?

Also, Paul, can you please help me with naming my opuntia I posted in this thread:

Tavi- I can get you a cutting from Crystal tide. It flowers a lot, not as much as macrorhiza but more than some of the larger types.

We write 'colour' here.

Beautiful collection of flowers Paul

Really love all the different colors!
