My Riverina Prickly Pear - #Opuntia.Elata.
Online sites say it can get 2 meters high....LIES I SAY. Segments on this break off really easy, especially when young. Pretty orange-ish flower, tiny fruit. #succulents #cactiDude #sucsInLA

Aloe βCrosbyβs Prolificβ --- Aloe nobilis x Aloe humilis var. echinatum Hybrid... I think, let me know if ya disagree. Got this in January 2021 at a swap meet in SCV. I have not had much luck propagating on the ground. Does well in pots with partial shade. #succulents #cactiDude #sucsInLA #aloe
My Boxing Glove Cactusπ₯π΅ - Cylindropuntia fulgida var. mamillata.
This is a nasty fella, the spines are barbed. Quite painfull if one is not careful. #zone9b, Available for trade.

Spineless PricklyPear (O. Cacanapa 'Ellisiana') - I got this one in a trade, in the ground for about a year. The color in some of the older pads have me a bit worried. Has no spines and no glochids,supposably. Am not sure if it is a cultivar R not #succulents #opuntia #ellisiana #cactiDude #sucsInLA

My Santa Rita (Opuntia santa-rita)π΅ - Dec 2024.
These are doing well, They love the weather zone9b, and gophers seem to hate them. Year 2, so maybe next year I can start sharing pads.

Old Mexico Prickley Pear - Opuntia Gomei
AKA wavy-leaf prickly pear. Edge of the pads are wavy.
Got this one last year, 2 pads. It does not seem to be doing to well in full Sun. Part of me thinks it might be the native soil in my area.

I also enjoy using #inaturalist to document #succulents I come across. I created a project just for me. 99% are marked as cultivated because they are not wild, as in I planted most of them. #cactiDude #sucsInLA
