Cylindropuntia ramosissim...Read Morea appears to be it's closest relative, and I'm treating it accordingly.

Has bloomed for the last 2 days (5-17/18-18): 1st plant. 2nd plant has 3 buds. The appearance is the same as the images already posted. Many new branches on both plants. If fruit develops I will update my comments.
