I know this is just a shot in the dark, and a little off-topic, but since Opuntia can be grown in many different situations, I figured I might give this a shot. I would LOVE some of the variegated Opuntia (Spineless, and if possible, without glocchids.) There are a couple on Ebay, but the names, and species keep changing, and I am not comfortable buying something that the seller just made a name for. I grow Opuntia ellisiana which is completely smooth, with no glocchids, and it's a pleasure petting them. Thanks, Jude
