Opuntia violacea v. santa Rita “Baby Rita’ Posted by Fred SC on December 28, 2024, 3:56 pm For those who like hardy cacti: Here is my Santa Rita Opuntia. It is a dwarf form of Sants Rita called ‘Baby Rita’. It takes on a purplish color in winter. This is the pad that I got for free at Lowe’s . They were sweeping it out. It has now many pads. I grow it in a pot beside front of garage. It eventually spread all over the pot. https://i.ibb.co/fQJfJDh/IMG-6044.jpg
