_Posted by 🪴Greenie🪴 on 2025-05-08_

Hi all, I recently purchased this purple prickly pear from a cactus shop while I was visiting Arizona. I don’t know specifically what type of prickly pear it is though. Does anyone by chance know it’s variety? Asking so I can properly input this plant into the app. Thank you!
