Almost! But not quite cuddly, I suspect ;)

Yes their looks can be deceiving. Their glochids are wicked. I have this plant in the monstrose form. It's best to mist it before handling and definately use tongs. I do love the plant though.. I also have the white albinus species..

Brother Bill speaks truth, James. If you work with glochidinous Opuntias (and really, among us Cactus Folk, who wouldn't want to?), spray them down first, if you can. Glochids can become airborne, and the wetting down dampens the enthusiasm with which glochids enjoy becoming embedded in our skin.
