What is the cactus that is sitting behind the barrel cactus? The one that looks like flat disks standing end on end? I have been looking for it... Ulrich Manhattan Beach, CA (Zone 11)October 23, 2003 10:30 PM

That is a Prickly Pear, one of the many different Opuntias. Happenstance Northern, CA (Zone 10a)October 23, 2003 10:55 PM
