Looking good. That stem almost looks like a different stem than the one that was vandalized and broken in half by some thoughtless Texas Canyon visitor.

The Spur formation in profile.
Where there was one, now there are two. After rescuing this Opuntia stem that some twisted soul stabbed with a stick and left to die, someone has, again, tried to destroy it by breaking it in two, with a rock. Now there are two rescues.

The Spur, a seldom visited, but secluded outcropping west of the main formations of Texas Canyon.
Opuntia basilaris stem that was rescued and supported after someone stabbed it with a stick and left it to whither and die. It's looking much better now.
The vandalized Opuntia sprouts new life. After being abused twice this Opuntia stem just keeps bouncing back.
