Opuntia atrispina

The flowers open pale yellow (sometimes almost white) and darken with age to rose. Thus, the plants can be adorned with flowers of multiple colors: cream, yellow, salmon, and rose. Newly opened flowers can even have a hint of green in the middle. The spines are yellowish at the tips but dark brown at the bases.^[2]
