Latin name: Opuntia microdasys ‘Yellow’
Common name: Yellow Bunny Ears Cactus 🌵
Native to the arid regions of Mexico, this playful cactus forms clusters of flat, oval pads covered in bright golden glochids. The evenly spaced “dots” give it a soft, fuzzy appearance—though they are sharp to the touch. Its cheerful color and compact shape make it a favorite among collectors and home decorators.

Flower details

In warm months, mature plants produce vivid yellow, cup-shaped blooms along the edges of their pads. The flowers open wide in sunlight, creating a striking contrast with the golden glochids and deep green pads.
