Purple Prickly Pear


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.

    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.

    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.
