I was keeping my friend Julie company one evening when she was watering her neighbor's plants when I noticed this gorgeous purple prickly pear cactus in the yard. It looked so pretty framed by the rocks and the tree that I couldn't resist snapping a photo of it.
I featured a purple prickly pear once before back in
May when our theme was Purple. Of all the different prickly pear varieties, the purple ones are my favorite.

Nice! I didn't realize it came in a purple variety. Looks like there's one in the background, too.
(I see I made a similar comment back in May, LOL!)
Never seen a purple one!
There is no doubt in my mind. The purple cactus are stealing the show.
Excellent "pyramid" composition of the cacti and rocks!
It's a beauty, Sharon!
They really are attractive Sharon.. is that the beginning of a red flower I see there?
Such a healthy one. Somebody is taking direct care of him. They usually don't look so extra "nice".
A very pretty and attractive purple cactus. I've never seen a purple cactus in person before. Nice shots, Sharon.
Neat textures!
I'm a huge cacti/succulent fan, this is one of those plants we don't have here in NZ but I wish it was in my garden.
The purple ones are my favorite, too. I like how some have those green/grey tones, too.
Very prickly!!
