Watermark


I'm not sure what has caused these stains on this prickly pear, but they look a lot like watermarks on paper.

  3. They do look like water stains. Are there sprinklers in this area that water the cactus with hard water.

  4. My first thought was a fungus but it would have to stay pretty wet for that to be what it is.
