Cactus Monday: Play-Doh Cactus

Okay, so that's not its official name. 
But doesn't it look like it's made of Play-Doh??

Coastal Prickly Pear (Opuntia littoralis)

Happy Cactus Monday, and Happy March!

Play is the beginning of knowledge.

  6. I think maybe the Taxonomists might want to reconsider the name for this. You have named it admirably.
    Great photo.
