Alba Bunny Ears (Opuntia microdasys var. albispina): A White-Spined Bunny Ears

Opuntia microdasys var. albispina, known as Polka Dots, Honey Bunny, or Alba Bunny Ears, is a charming, shrubby cactus with small, oval, spineless pads densely covered in tufts of fine, white glochids (polka dots) that look like cotton balls. It lacks long spines, making it relatively safe. It produces yellow flowers followed by red fruit. This Mexican native is a popular, easy-care houseplant and garden cactus.
