![]() (Dimension: 1423 x 1019 pixels - Counter: 5150) Opuntia basilaris ![]() Photographer: Jane Hendrix Note: Beavertail Cactus; 18" tall; magenta. This cactus does not have spines - but it DOES have nasty, little glochids radiating from each dimple in the flat pads. Unsuspecting tourists have handled the benign-looking pads only have those nearly-invisible glochids imbed themselves in hands and fingers. Photo taken at Katherine Landing Ranger Station, Lake Mead National Recreation Area, Mohave County, Arizona on March 20. ![]() |
