The Engelmann prickly pear cactus (Opuntia engelmannii)
can be easily identified by its broad, flat, green pads.
The white spines are 3" long and can be flat, curved or straight.
They also are covered with tiny, barbed hairs known as glochids.
They flower in May-June with yellow blooms. Ripe fruit are found beginning in July
and are identified by their bright red color.
The Prickly-Pear cactus is widespread throughout arid and semi-arid regions of this country.
They have suppied water for thirsty desert travelers and you can actually eat
parts of the plant... after removing the nasty spines.
