Fall Prickly Pear Pictures with Red Fruit, Continuation of Fairy Garden Friday

Here is what the Prickly Pear fruit looks like in the Fall.ย  We both tasted the fruit and it seemed OK and we are not dead yet!ย  I think it must be dried up though, so will keep a close eye on the plant next year!ย  Sandy did get a cactus thorn in her lip ๐Ÿ™‚

  4. Cool. These look different than the fruit they sell in the grocery store. Better check to see if they’re edible before trying them, though I suspect they are.
