The Eastern Prickly Pear is a highly attractive cacti with cold, heat, and drought tolerance. In the spring pollinators and people flock to them.  Their cheery yellow blooms are large and individual masterpieces that blanket the plants for weeks starting in late May.  Once they are done blooming the purple fruits are borne on the pads giving another color flare until winter.  The pads take on a rosy blush in the winter offering a 365 day display.  The fruits and pads are edible but care must be taken to eliminate the spines which can be painful.  The Eastern Prickly Pear is native to the eastern United States and grow locally here (DE) at the beaches and in upland forests.  They prefer quick draining soils and will not tolerate wet feet.   A stellar plant for the front of the garden border, plantings en masse, or even in containers with quick drainage.  An easy plant for the beginner and equally fun for the experienced gardeners alike.

Heaven sent
Size: Jumbo (25-Inch), Color: Dark Grey
My back suddenly decided to show me who's the boss. This reading pillow has been a God send! It is substantial without being too hard, soft enough to be comfortable without being too soft, absolutely no lumps! The outside cover is removable to allow for machine washing and is so soft to the touch. There is a handle on the back that makes it easy to move. This has allowed me to be able to sit upright, much appreciated!

Huge, super soft, cozy pillow!
Size: Jumbo (25-Inch), Color: Sage
This pillow is awesome! As a plus size person who can't sleep laying flat, the size and support level is perfect. This pillow is huge! The quality is very high, the stitching is precise, and the sage green material is soft and cozy. Great value for the price! I highly recommend this reading pillow!

MUST BUY Item for Breastfeeding Moms
Size: Standard (18-Inch), Color: Dark Grey
MUST GET item for breastfeeding moms. It is a soft pillow with a removable washable cover. The material is like a suede, which can make it hot to lean on if you typically feel hot when breastfeeding or sleeping. It allows you to sit up straight while in bed with great support.

It's perfect support.
Size: Extra Back Support (21-Inch), Color: Dark Grey
The best way to describe the super comfy reading pillow is super comfy. I use it to sit up while watching something soothing to my mind on tv and due to its comfyness and softness, it's perfectly just right for my back. The funny thing is within a few minutes I'm knocked out sleep, which is a good thing. It's soft but firm lumbar area and arms feels oh so comfortable. It gives the best sleep quality and less toss and turning. I highly recommend.
