BOTANICAL SAMPLE - NOT GERMINATION TESTED

Life cycle: Perennial

We really love prickly pears. While they can be annoying — the tiny barbed spines on the outside of the fruit, known as glochids, are truly horrible — they are delicious, refreshing, and beautiful. The plants are useful both as a fruit and a vegetable, since the young pads can be harvested and eaten (known as nopales in Mexico). The taxonomy of the prickly pear genus — Opuntia — is complicated, so we don't actually know the species name of any of the prickly pear accessions we offer, but we are excited to be offering this third cold-hardy prickly pear from our friend and longtime collaborator Andy Hahn in Colorado. He believes there's a good chance this is Opuntia macrorhiza. Andy found this cactus growing in the wild and reports that it has great-tasting fruit, though it's seedy (like most of them). Prickly pear fruit makes a tasty jam or syrup, but most people simply eat it raw. In our experience the seeds germinate best when planted on the surface of sandy soil given a dusting to cover them. They should be kept wet, but can be allowed to almost completely dry out between waterings. Heat helps them germinate, as does patience. The tiny cactus seedlings are adorable, at first resembling fleshy little squash seedlings, before a tiny spined tuft appears in the middle. They should be treated with care while young, but once they reach maturity they are very hard to kill, and a single pad can be removed and rooted simply by lying it on its side on the ground.

Absolutely Love It – Deep Hydration That Lasts!
Size: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1)
The Dove Body Cream Serum with Hyaluronic + Hydration has quickly become my go-to for tackling extra dry, flaky skin — and I absolutely love it! 💧 Deep, Lasting Hydration: From the first use, my skin felt instantly hydrated — and what’s even better? That hydration actually lasts throughout the day. No more reapplying! 🧴 Lightweight & Non-Sticky: It goes on smoothly, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t leave that greasy or sticky feeling — just soft, nourished skin. 🌿 Skin-Loving Ingredients: With pro-ceramides, niacinamide, and collagen peptides, it feels more like a high-end skincare product than a typical lotion. My skin looks visibly healthier, more even-toned, and has a soft glow. ✨ Bonus: It’s gentle enough for daily use and has a clean, fresh scent that’s not overpowering. If you’re dealing with extra dry or flaky skin and want something that works and feels luxurious, this is it. Dove nailed it with this one — hydration, comfort, and glow in one bottle. #DoveBodyCare #HydrationThatLasts #SoftHealthySkin #DrySkinSolution #SkincareMustHave #GlowUpWithDove

Soft Skin All Day Without That Greasy Feel
Size: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1), Size: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1)
My skin is dry and tends to get ashy, and after showering it can look worse, especially on my hands, elbows, knees, and heels. I apply this while my skin is still slightly damp. It goes on creamy but absorbs quickly, so I don’t get that greasy or sticky feeling some lotions or body creams leave behind. I can get dressed right away without waiting. It keeps my skin looking and feeling hydrated all day without needing to reapply. The scent is light and clean, nothing strong or overpowering. If your skin is severely dry or cracked, you may need something thicker. For my dryness, this does the job. It’s the one bottle I reach for every day.
