I added a photo that I took in Ottawa, Illinois last summer. It's the first image I have added to wikipedia, so I hope that it's appropriate.-- Thecoldmidwest ( talk) 17:59, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
The beginning of the page on Eastern prickly pear says
"Eastern Prickly Pear (Opuntia humifusa), also known as Indian fig, is a native cactus found in the northeastern part of North America and is found through New Jersey, New York and the New England states, and even in parts of Eastern Canada, e.g. southern Ontario."
As is obvious from the paragraph above, the plant is native to not India but a continent across the world, and as such - since wikipedia is not limited to users in US - it might be better to insert a correction or explanation that the word Indian here has nothing whatsoever to do with India or anthing of India, but rather the misunderstanding occurring on discovery of a different continent four centuries or so ago. —Preceding unsigned comment added by DrJGMD ( talk • contribs) 13:32, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
