Mistaken identity
@knottman2 posted a photograph of his latest pot plant, an Opuntia microdasys succulent, known popularly as bunny ears cactus, and I thought, I've got one of those!
Except I don't think I do. The pads of the bunny ears cactus are mostly flat, whereas mine aren't, although they seem to share the same yellow glochids that, frankly, are a menace.
I bought my plant because I appreciated and loved its hyperbolic form. While it's pretty slow growing, having only produced two new pads since I brought it home from the garden centre, it has become increasingly crinkled, to put it into technical terms. The thing is, apart from one photograph of a specimen in the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix, I have never seen another, much less do I know the species.
