Cylindropuntia tunicata
I just got a Panasonic Lumix ZS7 pocket camera to play with. This photo of Icicle Cholla is one of the first photos I got using it. The Leica optics of this camera are nothing short of amazing!
The plant is uncommon to rare in Texas, but exists in very small colonies in Brewster County where I live. It's a beautiful plant, but the slightest touch of one of these spine's tips will result in the silvery sheath coming loose and attaching itself firmly to your skin.Like we say to children, "look but don't touch!"
