Prickly Pear Cactus 'Flame Thrower'

Opuntia humifusa x

Live Cuttings (6"-15" pads) & Live Plants (3" & 6" pots) - Cold Hardy -20F!


Prickly Pear Cactus 'Flame Thrower' (Opuntia humifusa x) is a rare and beautiful accidental hybridization of Opuntia humifusa and an unconfirmed variety that we suspect to be O. woodsii, giving this hybrid a vivid flower that mimics a flame as the flowers change color from red, to orange, to finally to yellow and cream. A truly spectacular opuntia hybrid that every serious cactus collector would want in their garden! This variety grows very large, bright green (almost lime colored) pads that are nearly spineless and edible and delicious once cleaned and cooked. This variety also produces "wet fruit" or edible fruit that once cleaned can be made into jelly, juice, and jams. This variety seems to be more tolerant of moisture as well, so much so it's as if they prefer it. Reaching approximately 2-4 feet tall by 3-5 feet wide (if kept unpruned). This is one the larger variety of prickly pear cactus we grow and has been growing completely unprotected for decades in the cold high desert region of central Oregon, zone 6b/7a, repeatedly seeing temps below zero and single digit degrees F! These have been planted as far north as Canada and as far east as Maine, surviving temps below -20 degrees F!!

Rooting or Planting instructions included.

Solid shelves that look good!
Size: 36in, Color: 3-layer, Size: 36in, Color: 3-layer
Got these as a focal piece to my basement bar (added some cheap stick on LED strip lights behind it). I’m glad I ordered these! They are sturdy, shelves are solid wood, and the overall quality of the shelves is great. They were easy to install with provided hardware (although there isn’t much instruction in terms of mounting them, just putting them together), but it was simple enough to figure out with two people and a level (one holding, one making marks). Each pipe end has 4 screw holes, so expect to put 16 holes in your wall, but as shown in the photos the shelves can hold a good amount of weight. I recommend these for anyone looking to add the industrial look to your wall with a quality built shelf.

VERY sturdy and almost foolproof
Size: 36in, Color: 3-layer, Size: 36in, Color: 3-layer
This kit is made of real wooden planks, and metal pipes and fittings. Installation is simple- assemble each end of the kit, hold it up to the wall using a magnetic level, mark the four holes for each mounting piece, then repeat with the other side. You'll need a tape measure to make sure that the ends aren't too close together or too far apart, and measure from the ceiling or floor to ensure a level surface. You will want a second set of hands for most of the install process. This kit comes with good molly bolts and strong screws that match the finish of the metal hardware. Make sure that each side of the unit is oriented the same way, as I had to flip one side after neglecting to do so at first. Retaining brackets and wood screws are included for securing each shelf to the metal frame. A power drill makes this part very easy, and can be done mostly solo as the brackets can be pinched to clip onto the frame while you attach the screws. Once installed, this unit is VERY sturdy. There is no play or wobbling when testing the attachment to the wall. If there is, tighten your screws and make sure that the fittings to the wall mounts are hand-tight. These shelves can handle heavy kitchen staples and books with no problem. It is a tier more expensive than most Ikea-style shelving, but that's worth it for the confidence that my dry goods are safely stored in a convenient place.

Very Sturdy Industrial Shelves with a High-End Look
Size: 48in, Color: 3-layer
The OLDRAINBOW Industrial Pipe Shelves with Wood Planks 3 Tier 48in are very sturdy and have a high-end look once installed. The combination of metal pipes and wood planks gives them a strong, rustic-industrial style that looks more expensive than expected. They feel solid and well-built, not flimsy at all. Once mounted, the shelves feel very stable and can hold a good amount of weight, which makes them practical for books, decor, or kitchen items. Overall, these shelves are both functional and visually impressive. They add a polished, high-end feel to the space and I am very happy with them.
