Can anyone tell me the cultivar name (if there is one) for the white spined form of Opuntia microdasys without glochids?
There is a glochid-free one called Opuntia microdasys 'Caress' but that seems to have yellow spines, not white.

Ralph,
Ralph Northcott advertises it as O. microdasys fa. albata 'Angels Wings' .... quote "Unlike similar varieties of this "Bunny Ears" cactus, this one is safe to touch - the spines don't jump into your fingers. Hence the name "Angel's Wings". Angels can't hurt you!"
