Last year was a great year for cactus blooms and new pads,I believe this year will be just as good.The first pic is of a small spine-less variety, I harvested over 200 pads to root from this plant alone, not much fruit because I kept removing the pads to make new plants.It looks a little rough right now because I had it out of the ground for a couple weeks.The second is a pic of the ones that bloom yellow then turn orange as the day goes on and the fruit from these are very large.The last pic is a type that grows very fast and produces a lot of fruit, this is what they all have been eating for about a month, it is the first that I have to start new growth in the spring.
