Shindagger,
This appears to be the 'denudata' variety of O. fragilis for which there is a different entry page for.
Would you like your photo moved to the 'denudata' variety page?

Xeno.

Sorry, I am getting back so late. I haven't checked this site in quite a while. I don't mind if you move the photo. This cactus has prominent glochids while the denudata one I sent a photo of looks rather different with no glochids and rounder segments, so I thought they were two different kinds. Some of these are so hard to identify and all the seller had for information was fragilis. Please feel free to correct this.

This is not Opuntia fragilis var. denudata this is just O. fragilis it has to many spines to be denudata. Most O. fragilis from different locations look different so is is important to keep the location information with the plants.
