I had a rematch with the prickly pear cacti this morning. Today's sampling included measurements of several target species. One of them grew profusely within THIS bed of cactus:





Every yellow flag marks a plant.

The spines on the cactus aren't really a problem, but the glochids are a BITCH and they seem to magically appear in your skin when your arm is still three or four inches away from the plant. How does it do that?

I believe the cactus thought to mock me after yesterday's encounter. Bahahahaha. You can't scare me away, Opuntia humifusa! I depart triumphant! VICTORY!
