BOTANICAL SAMPLE - NOT GERMINATION TESTED

Life cycle: Perennial

We really love prickly pears. While they can be annoying — the tiny barbed spines on the outside of the fruit, known as glochids, are truly horrible — they are delicious, refreshing, and beautiful. The plants are useful both as a fruit and a vegetable, since the young pads can be harvested and eaten (known as nopales in Mexico). The taxonomy of the prickly pear genus — Opuntia — is complicated, so we don't actually know the species name of any of the prickly pear accessions we offer, but we are excited to be offering this third cold-hardy prickly pear from our friend and longtime collaborator Andy Hahn in Colorado. He believes there's a good chance this is Opuntia macrorhiza. Andy found this cactus growing in the wild and reports that it has great-tasting fruit, though it's seedy (like most of them). Prickly pear fruit makes a tasty jam or syrup, but most people simply eat it raw. In our experience the seeds germinate best when planted on the surface of sandy soil given a dusting to cover them. They should be kept wet, but can be allowed to almost completely dry out between waterings. Heat helps them germinate, as does patience. The tiny cactus seedlings are adorable, at first resembling fleshy little squash seedlings, before a tiny spined tuft appears in the middle. They should be treated with care while young, but once they reach maturity they are very hard to kill, and a single pad can be removed and rooted simply by lying it on its side on the ground.

Very Good and Well Written
Format: Hardcover
Probably about on page 55, enjoying reading. No page bleeds for me, it's a good-looking book. One of the cool ideas in here was this part that said that the super difficult emotions like grief, if you ignore these emotions, ***They get buried alive. Buried alive. BURIED ALIVE .*** SO well said! And That's why we benefit by doing the work to unbury and fully feel and fully respond to Life. As Brené Brown says, when we cut ourselves off from the ChallenginG emotions, like Grief, and try to run from them, we're ALSO cutting ourselves off from the fun, happy, positive emotions like JOY and LOVE and BELONGING. I really appreciate how this book might say "God" and talk about things being Holy AND YET this book is NOT centered on religion. I would not be able to read it if it was. I feel in good hands since the author seems wiser than religion and religiosity. For me, God is cool; religion is Not. This book feels good to read. I think this can be a helpful book for EveryonE, these days - even those who've already been on this spiritual Healing journey for quite some time.

Deep, honest, and healing
Format: Audiobook
This book has completely transformed my life. Iyanla writes in a way that feels real, honest, and sometimes a little uncomfortable (in a good way). It challenges you to look at your patterns, your pain, and your habits, but also gives you tools to start healing and creating better boundaries. If you’re on a self help or healing journey this is definitely a must read.
