Happy May Day! We bought a few new prickly pear cactus plants; this one is a hybrid from a yellow flower plant and a red flower plant. The flowers are just the nicest tone of pink! There were tons of bees swarming around it today, I captured one in a video; notice the pollen gathered on its legs! One time there was one bee doing it's thing and another bee came into the pollen. The first bee chased the second bee out of the flower. It was great.

  1. Great photos! It's a beautiful plant, love the soft pink flowers that contrast with the spikey, hard plant!!
