About Green
Smooth, paddle-shaped pads that stick out in every direction. They appear to have no spines, but do have tiny ones, so watch out! Red flowers winter to early spring. At North Star Nursery in Faribault, call 507-334-6288 for directions and hours.
About Cactus, Smooth
Makes a curious and spectacular ornamental with its multiple "ears." Grown for thousands of years for its red fruits and tender young pads. Gigantic where hardy, it is easy to grow in a container and bring inside for our winters. Propagates readily.
