These 3 cacti were all started by a single segment that a friend gave me off his large c. molesta about two years ago. Cacti are amazing plants! but you guys know this already. Martin

Love those golden spines!

Reminds me of my C. davisii.

Hope you don't mind me posting a pic or two.

Opuntia madness! Cylindropuntia molesta is the bane of anyone who tries to bushwhack in Baja. The spines easily penetrate shoe soles, pants, etc. Very painful and scattered all over the ground, lots of loose joints. But the spines are so dramatic, it can sometimes be breath taking to see in the wild.

one of my favorite pics that I saw somewhere on here was by Daiv...

It was called something like "Getting molested by C. molesta"

I though the name is pretty cool too, and the plant is beautiful. Looks sorta like C. acanthacarpa but with golden spines. (and more of them)
