Field of Chumbera Nopal Cactus (Prickly Pear) at Las Palmas
Field of Chumbera Nopal Cactus (Prickly Pear) at Las Palmas, Cran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain. Insects are gathered off of the cactus they grow up in, and are then used for the extraction of the natural dye carminic acid (cochineal). The rags draped over the Cacti (seen here) are part of this process. Truly rags to riches...!! Date: circa 1920s
