TY, Sway! I wish there was a giant Optunia on a route I drive more often. Obviously I'm hopelessly behind on observations! I'm hesitant to try to add one to our yard because they're almost always seen with weedy vines all over them, probably because getting close enough to weed around these things is dangerous. I've heard Optunia fruits are delicious. So you have had the jelly? I'm surprised I never did when our family came down here when I was a kid. My Aunt Myrtle always had jellies I'd never heard of before, we only had fig jam when we visited AL. Maybe Mom wouldn't mind one at her house? Her back yard could use more dog-proof plants anyway - LOL!
