The Spinless Prickly Pear "Old Mexico" is a type of spineless cactus that is prized for its smooth, paddle-shaped stems (pads) and lack of spines or glochids (barbed bristles). It is a member of the Opuntia genus, which includes various species of prickly pear cacti native to North and South America. The "Old Mexico" variety typically produces vibrant green to bluish-green pads that are oval or rounded in shape. In spring or early summer, it may also bear showy, yellow, orange, or red flowers that give way to edible fruits known as prickly pears or tunas.This cactus is tolerant of drought, heat, and poor soil conditions, making it ideal for xeriscaping, desert gardens, and low-maintenance landscapes.

Scientific Name

Opuntia gomei 'Old Mexico'

Foliage: Evergreen

The pads are very large, thick, and a beautiful wavy-edged blue-green. They are much smoother to the touch than standard cacti, though you should still handle them with gloves.

Flowers: In late spring or early summer, it produces large, gorgeous bright yellow flowers that often have a peach or orange center.

Fruit: It produces purple-to-red fruits (tunas) that are edible, though they are usually smaller and less abundant than those on the O. ficus-indica variety.

Mature Height

4-6 feet 

Mature Width (Spread)

4-6 feet 

Growth Rate

Fast (can double in size in a single  growing season)

USDA Zone

8 – 11 (Can handle light freezes, but needs protection below 20°F)


Plant Care & Characteristics

Light Requirements: Full Sun. It thrives in 6–10 hours of direct sunlight. This variety is particularly heat-loving and performs best in the hottest parts of the garden. Inadequate sunlight may result in weak, leggy growth and reduced flowering. These cacti are well-adapted to sunny, exposed sites with minimal shade.

Water Requirements: Low. It is extremely water-efficient. Prickly Pear Cacti are drought-tolerant plants that require minimal watering once established. In general, they prefer dry conditions and are susceptible to root rot if kept too wet. Water newly planted cacti sparingly (once every 2-3 weeks) if there is no rain and then allow the soil to dry out between watering. Once established, it can thrive on rainfall alone in most climates. Water only during prolonged periods of drought or extreme heat. Over-watering can be detrimental to the health of Prickly Pear Cacti and should be avoided.

Drought Resistance: Extreme. Like its thorny cousins, 'Old Mexico' stores large amounts of water in its thick, succulent pads, allowing it to survive long periods without a drop of rain.

Soil Type: Well-Drained. Drainage is the only non-negotiable requirement. It prefers sandy or rocky soil. If planting in clay, you must plant it on a "mound" or in a raised bed to ensure the roots never sit in standing water. Soil Preferences: Prickly Pear Cacti prefer well-drained, sandy or rocky soil with good drainage. Avoid planting them in areas with heavy, compacted soil or where water tends to pool after rain. If necessary, amend the soil with sand, gravel, or organic matter to improve drainage.

Deer Resistance: Moderate to High. Since it lacks long spines, it is slightly more vulnerable to curious wildlife than thorny types. However, the thick skin and presence of tiny glochids usually deter most deer.

The "Kid-Friendly" Cactus: Because the 'Old Mexico' lacks the long, "jumping" spines of the Cholla or the 2-inch thorns of the standard Prickly Pear, 'Old Mexico' is the #1 choice for Xeriscaping (water-wise landscaping) in residential areas. It can be planted near patios or walkways where a thorny cactus would be a safety hazard.

Nice quality bag, very stylish
Color: Mk Signature/Vanilla/Acorn, Color: Mk Signature/Vanilla/Acorn
This Michael Kors small duffle crossbody is a cute play on a travel bag. From the adjustable strap that mimics a heavy duty duffle bag to the outer pocket that can hold little what-nots, and the roomy innermost part of it, this bag is very stylish. The material is heavy duty, yet high quality. It doesn’t feel like it is cheap or so delicate it won’t last long with care, or scuff or scratch easily. The material, canvas, hardware, handles, and straps are high quality, and very rich in color. The bag has enough storage capacity allows for my phone,, cosmetics, keys, wallet, and AirPods, with some room left over. The zippers don’t catch or appear they will break easily. I’ve been able easily open and close the bag and pockets with no issues. Overall, this bag is great quality and very stylish. The color goes great with neutral tones and all black. I enjoy carrying with while dressed up or down. Very happy with this bag.

Beautiful, versatile bag with standout details
Color: Mk Signature/Vanilla/Acorn
This is a stunning bag, especially in the vanilla color. The hardware and overall detailing feel high quality and really elevate the look. It is the kind of piece that gets noticed and works well as a statement accessory without being over the top. Even though it is on the smaller side, it still holds a surprising amount, and the size keeps it comfortable to carry without feeling bulky. I also love the versatility of being able to use the top handles or attach the crossbody strap depending on the situation. It pairs just as well with casual outfits as it does with more dressed-up looks for a night out. While this bag does have a premium price tag, it does not feel like they skimped on any details or hardware so that feels like a good value there. I also appreciate the two-in-one versatility, which also helps when considering the cost of this bag as well. Overall, this is a beautiful and functional bag that I have really enjoyed, and I would definitely recommend it to others.

I'm in love
Color: Chambray, Color: Chambray
YES, PLEASE, and WOW!!! Let me start by saying I have never owned a Michael Kors purse before. I know they are extremely popular and a lot of women carry them. But, after receiving this little GEM, I can definitely see the appeal! She is absolutely BEAU..tiful. First, the COLOR... this blue screams spring and summer. The SIZE is perfect. I used to carry big purses and over the years have reduced it down significantly and carrying much less than I used to. So now I only carry small purses. It has more than adequate room for everything that I need on a daily basis. It has an inner open pocket and large open area inside. There is also a zippered pocket outside for quicker access. The DESIGN is so cute! I think they call it a barrel or duffel bag shape. Love it. Very easy to carry with handles, or by using the adjustable shoulder strap. Either is very sturdy and secure feeling. All the hardware is top notch. Everything is wrapped individually and protected from scratches during shipment. The blue "MK" embossed leather is soft to the touch, but durable and really makes this purse. It has 4 metal "feet" studs on bottom to protect the leather. This little cutie is obviously professionally made with an eye on quality, design, comfort, versatility, and perfection. I know she cost a pretty penny, but now I can honestly see why as it is an extremely well made purse. There is the value for the cost. Definitely recommend.
