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.

Corynopuntia schottii djf 1000.11

Low growing plant with nice, albeit vicious spines. I found this plant sensitive to black rot. it won't killed it, but does not look pritty.

Stems are spiny. Flowers are usually yellow, but other colours (pink) do occur.
