Day 40: Dotted Swiss

Dotted Swiss

This cactus is Opuntia microdasys, also known as Bunny Ear Cactus or Polka Dot Cactus, but I like to call it “dotted swiss” because that is what it reminds me of. The brown spots are not supposed to be there, but I think they might be because of the cold weather we’ve had lately.

Taken February 9, 2008.
