Prickly pear cactus flower

Fletcher Wildlife Garden

These are native to Ontario, but grow in very limited numbers southwest of Ottawa in a few locations. They are more commonn in southern Ontario. However, they grow well in the rockery at the Fletcher Wildlife Garden.

I'm amazed they survive your winter - and are native. In Australia, to which they are not native, they grow feral in mainly sub-tropical regions, and I recall seeing Prickly Pear plantations in Peru.

I only know this flower from Jungle Book.
Lovely it is.
