Hello. Could you help me with ID this opuntia?
1.
2.
3.
3x opuntia
Re: 3x opuntia
O. erinacea/hystricina
Consolea rubescens
O. scheeri
The second one is more pleasant to touch. First one is probably fastest to bloom.
Large plants, need much space. 2nd and 3rd don't like winter cold. Be careful with sharp spines and abundant glochids.

Re: 3x opuntia
I agree with the first 2. The last looks more like Opuntia pilifera

Agreed, of cause pilifera
Re: 3x opuntia
Hello,
I'm curious about this cacti - if these are two varieties or not.
So I'm pretty sure these are :
Opuntia monacantha and maybe also Opuntia cochenillifera also known as Nopalea cochenillifera (with those flower buds) ?

Re: 3x opuntia
Thanks for all your help. I heard opinion that the last one may be Opuntia leucotricha and still not sure about it.
