Three sided opuntia

21 years ago

Look at this opuntia, when I get it It was only the three sided base. It gives a "normal" pad but with alteration in the glochids (irregular patern)and if you look at the top of the new pad it has the glochids in a half an inch bar.

I think it is a monstrose form of an Opuntia microdasys

I think it will become crested soon.
Look at this crested Opuntia macrecentra from near Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua.
