    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Opuntia sp 1 I am looking to get a proper name for this plant. It grows large 3 to 5 feet tall with large round gray to green pads. Flowers are a bright yellow and it has shown to be extremely hardy surviving some of our worst winters in zone 6. It should be able to handle zone 5 and maybe colder.
