Compare yesterday's cactus with this one adorned with red glochids. This one is called Optunia Rufida and it belongs in the same family as yesterday's Bunny Ears Prickly Pear. It might look softly fuzzy, but you don't want to get any of those tiny glochids caught in your skin.

I think this is what I had a close encounter with a couple weeks ago! Too close!
This looks like a cactus with a bad case of the measles.
Been there, done that...ouch.
I like what Dave said - measles. I really like the contrast between the green and red in this shot.
Lovely.
That's one prickly red-head there.
