I'm suppose this is probably too big for this forum, but anyway, it's not large as Opuntias go - and it's nice to see it flowering:

Plant looks cuddly but its glochids are terrible. Bacause of its glochids it is also called cow blinder.

One of the alba/albispina clones has soft glochids and is quite strokeable.

Are you offering a testing service, Tony?
There's also a form of the common stinging nettle that doesn't sting. but for fairly obvious reasons I have yet to find it.
