Here is the Eastern Prickly Pear Cactus Pads, Opuntia humifusa. Eastern prickly-pear cactus (Opuntia humifusa) is a perennial herb forming mats or clumps. The stems are shaped into fleshy, flattened pads that are up to 10 cm long and 6cm wide. The pads should be touched with caution because of the presence of minute barbed hairs that are very irritating when lodged in the skin. The leaves are reduced to spines, which may not be present on a given plant. The very attractive flowers, appearing in June and July, are bright yellow and up to 8 cm wide. The fruit is fleshy, vase-shaped, red or purple at maturity, and attached along the margins of the pads.  This listing is for 1 pad 2.5" to 5" long. Just lay the pad in soil and it will root and grow like crazy!
