Opuntia lasiacanta; Family: Cactaceae
The varying colors of the flowers is fantastic. This cactus has a popular use as food as well. Forgot to add the correct date of sighting when I first posted. Sorry.
All different regions across the southwest US and beyond. Hearty in Mexico and further south as well.
