The prickly pear is undoubtedly the best known and most widespread cactus plant in the world. It shows erect or slightly prostrate stems, with an oval or flattened shape, with a diameter of thirty or seventy centimeters; they are fleshy, with a bright green hue and with few pointed thorns. The flowers, which arise from the beginning of spring and throughout the summer, have the shape of a cup, yellow or orange in colour, placed on the sides of the stem. The fruits are oval, ten to fifteen centimeters long, with a fleshy consistency and a green color that changes to purple red once they have ripened.
