HI Folks,

Here at our house we have tons of these purple prickly pear cactus. Each one started with a single paddle in the gound some 15 years ago. Summer time these cactus turn a bluish purple. Ours are quite unique as they bloom both Pink and Yellow. Not uncommon for folks to stop by and ask if they can have several paddles. We have so many that we say to help yourself....

I have one of those in my front yard,it's about 1/4 that size. My friend gave me 1 pedal 2 years ago and it's grown a lot since then that I've added a few more around the house. This year was the first time I had yellow flowers on it but we had a rainy winter/spring so I'm sure that helped. My aloe plants are another that grow like weeds! I wish I could find more people to give the pups to because I hate throwing them away but they get so overgrown.

Mines already de-flowerred.

Hi Dave,

My purple prickly pear have about 1½" needles. That keeps the Javelina away from the pads. We have a herd of them that travels through our yard nightly...about 25 or 30 of them.

Hi Doc,

They say the way to prepare a Javelina is to soak it in a 55 gallon drum of brine for two weeks. Then wrap it up in a gunny sack and bury it in the backyard for another 2 weeks. Then dig up, throw the Javelina away and eat the gunny sack!
