Winter-hardy Opuntias

This post is slightly off topic, but many of the Opuntias in my winter-hardy cacti bed are flowering right now and I would like to share a couple of photos of the beautiful flowers.

The plants are growing in the northwestern parts of Denmark, only a couple of hundred meters (yards) from the North Sea. I bought the plants two years ago at Benny’s Cactus.
