Two Opuntias for ID please

Post by erodgers1946 »

Hi
I've planted these two into the ground in my back garden and both are flowering. Can you please ID them for me.
Thanks
Eileen

Second one looks like Brasiliopuntia. Does it develop a trunk?

For no.2 I say Opuntia monacantha.

Yeah, I'd say Opuntia monacantha for the second one too. The first one needs a more general shot.

Happy growing!
