Opuntia polyacantha ‘Crystal Tide’



Opuntia Polyacantha 'Crystal Tide'

I bought this cactus from Gardens North. It is eye catching, whether or not it is flowering. The spines are very white, and they shine in sunlight. The flowers are white and resemble rose flowers.

It grows rather slowly compared to other Opuntia's. It is quite hard to move it due to the large amount of spines, so I use kitchen tongs to move the parts around.
