Opuntia Microdasys Pallida – Yellow Bunny Ears Cactus

The Golden Cousin of the Bunny Ears Cactus — Bright, Bold & Beautiful.

Meet Opuntia Microdasys Pallida — the stunning yellow-glochid variety of the beloved Bunny Ears Cactus.

The same iconic bunny-ear silhouette, now in a bolder, sunnier palette.
