Thanks. Most of the Semps' coloring changes throughout the year.
I hear that. I have gotten a pad of a thornless Opuntia (O. ellisana) going pretty well. It has three new pads already. Most likey I will replace some of those with this thornless variety. There are too many to snip and the glochids are even more numerous (and almost more wicked, IMHO). Besides, nobody needs to be in that area below our back windows anyway. Should a thief come along and fall into them, well, poetic justice. They got what they deserved.
