I don’t know the name of this cactus (opuntia family, I think), but it gets these tiny orange flowers from time to time. When the flower is gone, another paddle will begin growing where the flower was. A very interesting cactus. Click on the image to enlarge.
It sure looks like an Opuntia flower Any chance you could post a picture of the whole plant (period & question mark buttons not working)
Damsel took this photo of the little opuntia today.
Can’t tell what species it is, but the Prickly Pears are a variable bunch It is definitely Opuntia, though
