Is this the same clone as my plant pictured in Fig. 264 of your Small Opuntias book?

Brilliant plants! I started giving my Tunillas a bit more attention this year, having seen all your pictures demonstrating how attractive these can be...

Hi Tony
I wish I kept better record as I have two clones which look like this - One probably came from you and the other definitely came from David Shepherd at the Edenbridge branch. I suspect they are the same plant. Its a swine to re-pot!

I would think so. Mine originated from Doug Sizmur many years ago, as probably so did David's.

Whatever they are, they have some really good strong colours. Who says "opuntias never flower?"
