I have no idea why the color difference, except for it being something in the soil/or a signifier of unhappy plants (the green ones I mean, which are actually a little yellow). All of those Opuntia came from a neighbor who grows them in her hellstrip, having brought the plants out with her from the Midwest. I have permission to take the broken pieces.
