Opuntia ursina St. George Utah (82)

Opuntia ursina MK1338 x F2 (338)

This form has big yellow flowers and spiny pads. Plants get a bit higher in the greenhouse.

Pads are spiny, but the spination varies. Flowers can be all sorts, but I have mostly pink. Usually a bit on the sensitive side for moisture, not winterhardy in Holland.
