Opuntia santarita Santa Rita Purple Prickly Pear Cactus

The box was not labeled "LIVE PLANTS" or "FRAGILE" or "HANDLE WITH CARE"....So when i pulled it out of my mailbox, the box was just full of dirt & the pots were almost empty. I was very excited about these plants & for good reason, because they're beautiful - However, they were not treated as living plants because the box didn't indicate that there was anything sensitive inside.

Small ans not purple. Ordered another one from somewhere else that is.

Very lovelu coloring actually! Though I may have accidentally got needles lodged in my fingers! Lol
