Opuntia
Opuntia pycnantha

Was labeled as Opuntia pycnanthum var margaritana. Have seen many of these in pots in So Cal and they often form 3-4 armed shapes, like this single one, all in different directions- very ornamental

palmbob - This is a beautiful Opuntia! Reminds me a little bit of my Opuntia erinacea v. erinacea, but with no hair. There's a lady in the Stockton C&S Society who would like to have one of these. Do you know where she could get one?

Was that Desert Images? If so, perhaps she could contact Dick or Nancy and have them mail one to her. If not Desert Images, would you be willing to give me the name of the nursery? She doesn't need to get one up here. If you have any other knowledge of any down your way it would be greatly appreciated if you would be willing to give me the contact info.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Desert Images is the place. I didn't see any more of these, but every time I go back there new plants magically show up, so I know they have a source somewhere else.

Thanks a lot for your help! I'll give Dick a call and see if he has more.
