I just think this is neat. Growing up in rainy Vancouver, I was surprised to find out there are cacti in Southern BC. This one was near Lillooet. The photo was taken in June, a few years ago.



Prickly pear cactus
These grow all over southern BC as well throughout the Caribou and many other areas including the Praries.
They're fun to pull out of your dog's muzzle and if you brush by them when walking they magically jump up and attach themselves to the back of your leg.
Very tenacious and hardy plant.
