In traveling home, it had a bag over it. The bag stayed on it until we planted it. We had double gloves when planting. <br /><br />Tell ya we came very close to planting the Prickly Pear in OR before coming home because all the grief it was giving us. <br /><br />Although it's very pretty where it's planted. Just something unique to have in the yard. May do something with it one day but right now, just planting it and letting it grow.

On the prickly pear topic, ...Love the flower pics. On the prickly pear topic, I want to chime in. Having been raised in AZ by a gardening fanatic, I have experience with this. To move a prickly pair safely you need: 1) Tongs 2) newspaper and 3) gloves. The newspaper can be looped around the prickly pair to hold it in place and can also be wrapped around it to protect yourself. The tongs are for work that requires finer control of it, e.g. with planting. The gloves are obvious. Also, if pads fall off, no problem. Just put them in the ground (bottom half in, top half out) and they'll root themselves so now you have 2 prickly pear. Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11902061660201429765noreply@blogger.com
