Opuntia monacantha (but it is monstruosa?)

Post by ossy96 »

Hello guys,
For the last 3 months i was happy to have a True Opuntia monacantha, but now as i see that almost every areole gives a new growth makes me disappointed and it makes me think that i have an Opuntia monacantha monstruosa, but on the internet pictures seems that they are more elongated than mine. The question is: it is an Opuntia monacantha? or it is the monstruosa form or anything else? ..
here are the pictures:
