Turns out, Nopales are easy to propagate.  Now I feel silly for paying $30 dollars for the mamma plant.  It was worth it to show support for the Mostly Natives plant sale, which usually happens every April.

I’m not sure what the common name is for this plant..prickly pear?  In Spanish, they are called Nopales and you make Nopalitos out of them.  They are delicious.  I wish I knew how to cook them.
