Note the two ants on the right hand flower bud. Click to make larger to see easier....I didn't see them until I got the picture on the screen here!

Great pics, Julie! I've never tried cactus fruit before.
what a lovely part of the world to live, look good enough to eat...are they two ants?
Serena-it tastes a little like watermelon...same sort of texture! It is difficult to use if you get them fresh due to the needles on the outside, but you can open them. I had a video on my website before I deleted it the last time that showed how. Do a search for HOW TO EAT A CACTUS FRUIT.
Soul B- I think you are right! 2 ants!!! I had to go back and enlarge to see that! SWEET!
Will do....thanks for the info, Julie. :)
Great photos! My ficus indica, the family cactus, blew over during a windstorm a couple of weeks ago and snapped at the first pad, so it is gone. I kept a couple of pads to replant, but it will take years to reach a good size. Dang!
