Our Cactus Elena

We bought this cactus last december in nursery in San Miguel Dueñas a town just outside Antigua. I highly recommend this place to buy flowers they are considerably less expensive and they have a great variety.

Anyway I have to blog about this interesting cactus which is an Opuntia Rufida and we have named Elena (like the daughter of Zeus from the Iliad). Just recently it grew this sprout we are waiting to see what will happen next!
