🌵 Cowboy Prickly Pear Cactus
(Consolea rubescens or Opuntia rubescens)
Add a touch of tropical flair to your collection with the Cowboy Prickly Pear, also known as the "Roadkill Cactus" for its unique flat, wide body shape—though we prefer the name "Cowboy" for the way its arm pads grow symmetrically on either side, like a cowboy’s stance.
