Day 29 is Floral. I chose a Prickly Pear Cactus ringing in the New Year! I grew up in Southern California, so a warm winter is somewhat nostalgic for me, and I have a soft spot for prickly pear cacti.

Spent the day dividing my prickly pear🌵🌼cacti. A neighborhood cat, or two, or something, trampled them last year, broke off a number of paddles. There was no way I 👩‍🎨 was going in there to fix them! 😳 Just bided my time until they started coming out of dormancy.

My Eastern Prickly Pear cactus in bloom. It had a really tough time last winter, not sure what happened. I’m hoping for a comeback this summer. The pads look like deflated balloons early spring. Beautiful blooms. Tough to weed around! OUCH! 😂

🌵 Did you know a cactus grows in Ohio? The Eastern Prickly Pear (Opuntia humifusa) survives harsh winters with a sugary antifreeze-like substance in its pads! 🌟 Thanks to Dan Hudnell for this amazing Marion County photo.

This is my prickly pear cactus in bloom. Some are more orange/ yellow and some are a really deep burgundy. The fruit are always a burgundy color. They’re all beautiful in bloom. 🌱🌵🪶🌺
