The pun to go along with this @plantlovestories piece is “We make a prickly pair!”

Inktober Day 11: Tuna
The tuna (prickly pear or cactus fruit) is a fruit that has been found in Perú since ancient times. The inside of the fruit is bright red, almost purple with many small seeds. It is said to be good for digestion as well as preventing and helping diabetes.

I’ve been working on a few other projects, so I’m falling a bit behind on these. This is Yana; my uncle’s dog. She lives is Cieneguilla. She is the sweetest dog, just like the tuna!

Not too shabby for a 5 dollar plant on the side of the road 2 years ago. I can’t grow an eggplant to save my life apparently, but #cactusflowers more than make up for it.
