Yes, I'm interested in that one too. Are the leaves like little prickly pear pads or are they more leaf-like?

I do not know the name of the little one in the second pic on the ground. I bought it in a small 2" pot and it grew really fast that last year. then it got mealy bugs on it and I tried everything to keep helthy and pest free.(sprayed with alcohol etc.) I half way suceeded but had to cut it down a lot. The stalk and pads are really succulent like a prickly pear.

here it is last summer:

The one I have is ?I think opuntia something, Or maybe not? Mine stays in the house and proable would look differently if it was outdoors or recieved more sun.

I'm not sure, as I have looked at hundreds of photos, and not been able find anything close, and since it has been in the same pot for ages and neglected, It may look different when care for better.
