Great pics! Is that an Opuntia growing in second to last pic?

Here is another we found yesterday, with the crests at an early stage of development. We had never seen one like this before.

I think the Opuntia in the saguaro might be O. phaeacantha actually

Always a treat seeing the cristate saguaros in the desert. I haven't come across any in a while.
