help in identifying cactus cutting

Post by ohugal »

Hi Everybody

During my visit to the botanical garden of Palermo I found a cactus cutting, but have some trouble identifying it. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

@Dodi: Thanks for the tip. It very much resembles a Cylindropuntia Fulgida.
@closetguy: What type of cactus is in your picture? Also a cholla?
