I’ve had it (Opuntia humifusa) for years. Every year it got a little bigger but never flowered. Looks like this year was finally the year! They’re all gone now, but the fruits have taken their place. Can’t wait to have some 🤤

Those flowers! Wow I was not expecting such a show! What zone are you in?
6b, southeast Pennsylvania, U.S.A. Afaik these are the only opuntias native here? They seem pretty happy and low maintenance!
Wow and you can eat them? You’ll have to report back what it’s like
Yup! I haven’t had the fruit from this particular Opuntia species but they generally taste a lot like watermelon to me. You can eat the pads themselves too, but mine is so small I don’t wanna inconvenience it 🥺
