Opuntias grow with water, right temperatures, right soil and sufficent attention.
They show a remarkable abilty to come back from cold, scorching heat or neglect. But if you treat them well, they will surprise you with growth, flowers and some more growth.

Opuntia erinacea utahensis (546)

This form has very few spines, and a nice purple flower. Probably not a erinacea, but maybe a hybrid with a short pines plant (aurea or bsailaris).

This plant has a lot of spines. The colour is very typical and striking. Maybe a hybrid (in the past) with basilaris.

Pads are spiny, but the spination varies. Flowers can be all sorts, but I have mostly pink.
