I've had this for years, but never knew the ID for it. Is this one Cylindropuntia acanthocarpa? Handcrafted Coastal Inspired Art SeaMosaics! |

| Just a wild guess. Texas Tree Cholla Cactus (Cylindropuntia imbricata). My record, I am seldom right. Sorry. Stush |

| Thanks, Stush. I looked it up. It looks pretty close except for the flower color. It's definitely orange and not pink. Handcrafted Coastal Inspired Art SeaMosaics! |

| Hi Karen, I think you might be right, but it is hard to say with 100% certainty from your picture. It could also be C. versicolor, which has a variety of flower colors. In this case a careful look at a mature stem (so not one with flowers and vestigial leaves) might help - the spinage and shape of the sections are different. Any chance of a picture of that? |

| Hello Thijs, thanks for your comment. We travel between 2 places, and right now I'm not with this plant. When we go back I'll get new photos. Meanwhile I'll check the old ones to see if there is a better photo of the stems. Handcrafted Coastal Inspired Art SeaMosaics! |
