OP031: Opuntia fragilis v denuta (Spineless Cat's Paw Cactus'

OP031: Opuntia fragilis (debreczyi) v. denuda (Spineless Cat’s Paw Cactus)  A true ground-covering type with glossy, nearly spineless flattened pads and abundant yellow (fading to apricot) flowers in June.  4” high by 36” wide!  Zone 4.  I acquired it from Mary Ann Heacock.  This plant gets more notice than almost any other in my garden.
