Opuntia Microdasys Cristata
Opuntia microdasys ‘Cristata’, also known as the crested bunny ears cactus, is a rare, sculptural form of the Opuntia microdasys cactus. Instead of growing in the typical paddle shape, it develops wavy, fan-like crests. Covered in dense, harmless-looking but irritating glochids (tiny spines), it has a striking appearance and is popular among collectors for its unusual, ornamental shape. Native to Mexico, it thrives in bright, dry conditions.
