I looked at a lot of Opuntias, there's so many of them! One thing which caught my attention is the two spines, where photos of Opuntia robusta appear to have more. I know the number of spines can vary, but how much? I found one called Opuntia bispinosa, which has varying coloured flowers but I found one which does look like yours Masud, if it's correctly named.

The site above has several pages of Opuntia..

According to the Plant list, Opuntia bispinosa is a synonym of Opuntia anacantha var. utkilio.

The straight species appears to have orange flowers so that would explain the different flower colour.

Of course I could be wrong! Hilarious!

Opuntia robusta monstrosa doesn't seem to fit.
