Opuntia imbricata
Cactus Family - Cactaceae

No, yellow one is not a bloom but I just couldn't resist.  The end of this cactus seem to have a funny face.  Thought you might enjoy it also.  The Cholla will bloom from April through June.  This Texas Wildflower is also called:  Coyote Candles, Tree Cactus and Cane Cactus.  The dead stems are used for lamp stands and assorted handicraft items.
