Have a bite
Come on.. its very refreshing :D
This giant grows in my neighborhood. One of the spots I like to go to shoot some wild blooming flowers and bugs. It is almost at the edge of our town, neat the water and some gardens... nice quiet-ish spot.
I often see the garden corners or near fences too. Not an easy thing to grow in the garden if you don't have lots of space. This thing can grow REALLY big!
I just wish I remembered to go and check on this Opuntia when it blooms. I saw fruits. But I keep missing the flowers.

Thank you.
Well, not those, but you can actually eat the young leaves that these produce, they are called Nopales. One day I'll try it with the ones growing on the hill
I think optuntia leaves are used in Mexican kitchen... now that you mention eating them I think I saw it on some program.
after googling session
Yep.. its the Nopales :)
Going to try it this spring. I love eating different vegetables
