#wintercolor #wintercolour on my 'Baby Rita' and spruce cone cacti. The one with the crazy needles is an Opuntia sulpurea. It's not something you'd want to cuddle, but it's not actually as mean as it looks. The needles aren't very rigid, so they only really stab you if you impale yourself dead on.

Any sentence that starts with "they only really stab you if..." is highly suspect in my eyes LOL #interestingfoliage #wickedspines
