Teddy Bear Cholla
This Teddybear Cholla is in my yard and loaded with blooms. I’m trying to get a Cholla forest going which will encourage Cactus Wrens to build their nests there. The common name of this cholla comes from its fuzzy appearance. Don’t be fooled, though 🙂
Teddy Bear Cholla Bloom
Teddy Bear Cholla (Cylindropuntia bigelovii) blooms are fairly small and very light in color so most people don’t even notice them. Probably a good thing since getting too close to one of these Cholla almost guarantees that you’ll leave with segment stuck on you somewhere 🙂
