Opuntia is a very large genus of cacti, native from Canada to South America, but now found also in other dry, desert terrains throughout the world. Their native American name is Nopal (or Nopales), but the common name is Prickly Pear. If you live in western North America or the Middle East, chances are very good you have access to Opuntia.
