Cacti & Succulents

Help with a cactus ID

19 years ago

Hello. I bought this little guy at Home Depot listed as a prickly pear cactus (Opuntia). I have tried looking thru numerous photo's with no luck. I thought that prickly pear cacti were all flat, but I've been wrong before ;) If anyone can ID this plant it would be greatly appreciated ^^

Awesome!! Thanks so much. I've was looking over pictures of this genus and tho I agree it's definitly a Cylindropuntia, I'm not to sure on prolifera. But it might be because mine is still small. I did find one picture of mine at http://cactiguide.com/graphics/o_johnsonii_600.jpg
The tags are from the same place tho ^^

Thanks again cause I never would have figured out what this was!!
