Opuntia Microdasys Rufida - Orange

Opuntia, one of the largest cactus families, is made up of desert cactus found throughout the Americas. They are low maintenance plants needing little water. They are also adapted to a very hot, dry climate. Opuntia Microdasys Rufida, with its orange dots, is harder to find than the white or yellow dotted versions. Also known as bunny ears cactus, Mickey Mouse cactus or prickly pear, it has no sharp spines. But avoid touching this cactus as the fine hairs can irritate the skin!
