Cool - almost missed the little hopper. What size is the flower?

About 3"(>7.5cm). I'm in Wisconsin, and they don't get as big as the ones down south. The whole plant, to be fair.

Thanks - tiny hopper indeed then. Never seen either variety because I’m not from the US and was only aware prickly pears existed because of the line in the Jungle Book song

My favorite song from that!
