The prickly pear here have just about finished blooming. Although all the plants look alike (to me) there are two distinct colors and some hybrids. There is a clear lemon ice color and a fairly intense magenta. I also found some apparent hybrids which have either a peach colored blossom or yellow with red centers (both colors on the same plant). Here are some examples. All of these are within about 25 feet of each other.
This is the clear yellow
Magenta
The two hybrid colors about 5 inches apart on the same cactus
