Optunia? Anyone? #plantid #plantid-succulent #plantid-cactus #succulent #cactus
@lovestogarden many different types of Optunia. ......I think it belongs as such.
Is it quite flat ?
Yes, Jacqui, it is quite flat. @Muzz67
Probably an Opuntia of some kind then 😊
Looks like an inside down foot! 🤗
Idk, but I like it😉🌵🌵🌵
I think I was trying to say upside-down foot! I really don't get enough sleep!😴 I looked again and it just looks like a foot!😯🙄😮
I understood you, @purplebird ! It does look like a shoe sole... Luckily no thorns. 😵

@lovestogarden such a pretty colour and very dainty 🥰
Great #closeup Janice
#greatname -- is that because it smells bad or something?
Woah 😳 I love it 😍
I think it's the flesh & blood appearance of the flower! @emch
Beautiful.. not sure about the name 😂
@juliesgarden @KariSamuel @gjones @emch The name refers to it’s very flat appearance when young. (Ex: like it got run over by a car, hence, “road kill”). I have one but haven’t posted it yet. I was debating whether to keep it because it’s a fast grower, but now that I see the flower, it might be worth keeping 💕🌞
That explains it @sunlovin
@sunlovin .. ahh that explains it 👍🏻
Yes, very dainty. @belle1988 ❤️
Thank you @txgardener 💕
