cactus
Recently I tasted a fruit...it was slimy and sour..may be other species are better tasting...
These orage, fruit-like growths sometimes, but not always, have flowers. I have also heard it said that they are edible. Perhaps one day I will post pictures of the flowers.
thanks a lot
this is a type of Prickly Pear, Opuntiahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opuntia
