These keep coming back, but they seem to be very sensitive to heat because the last couple of years the buds dried up before opening. This year a few opened, but as soon as we had a hot day the remaining buds bolted. I have them in afternoon shade and there are plenty of other daffodils planted with them that do not have the same problem.

Purchased one from a local Nursery, I thought I was buying Eastern Prickly Pear (Opuntia humifusa) which looked similar in my memory.
Upon entering it I see no references to it being hardy in Zone 5 so we shall see.

Striking Yellowish-orange flowers attract butterflies to the garden. The evergreen pads of this variety are nearly thornless. A beautiful and novel choice for dry rock gardens, stone walls and perennial gardens. Thrives in poor soils; will spread considerably in ideal conditions.
