Daiv,
if I am lucky I might be getting some flowers on my O. hondurensis althought, they might be pads. I will let you know if they turn into flowers and of course I will snap some pics. Should be a red flower and it will look vaguely like a Nopalea flower.

Re: Opuntia hondurensis flowers maybe
BTW while I didnt take a picture (I forgot too) I have a few that I think should be flower buds. They are strange but the only picture I have seen attributed to O. hondurensis on the internet (its the same picture on Cactiguide) the flowers appear to be like a Nopalea. I will take pictures once it blooms.

Re: Opuntia hondurensis flowers maybe
I have some news regarding the O. hondurensis flower. The first flower is blooming. I will post some pics and I can email a pic to you Daiv if you want one for the guide.
(edit)
there it is. One of those strange flowers that doesn't quite open up all the way.

K, it is still blooming, I will take the best pictures I get, and send them off in a few days. The flowers are very strange and are the type that don't open up very far at all. They are interesting tho
