Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Years ago I picked up a prickly pear pad & brought it to the northland where I have it in a pot. I can not wait until it blooms. The fruit is edible & the Mexicans call it "tuna" the Israelis call it "sabra". They are similar to Kiwi fruit with more seeds. The pads are also edible sans thorns. That is called "nopalitto" in Spanish. Pickled, or sold raw for adding to various rice dishes. Texture, not much flavor. But nutritious.

Posted by sc62Day trip to the lake last weekend. I spent most of an afternoon next to this lily patch. It was such a nice, refreshing mini retreat.
