I always wanted a paper spines cactus. They’re so cool, what an amazing gift from your parents.

Yea I'm really excited to see how it'll grow. Apparently this is a specific variety from Peru. Thats more compact and orange in color. This is the mother plant

😲 Wow! Also, it's that Prickly Pear?

#### Wolfen 🐺 replied on 2024-12-31

It is!!!

### StormLover commented on 2024-12-31

Is it purpley and green or is that just camera?

#### Wolfen 🐺 replied on 2024-12-31

That's exactly what it looks like in person. It's a purple variety. But the best one i saw down there. Mom was saying cold makes their color better, or something to that effect
