    Opuntia, possibly O.(Nopalea) cochenillifera.

    Thank you, you gave me a very good lead... Now I just have to narrow it down to which specific Opuntia... I never thought there would be so many possibilities

    Is it possible that I have a "spineless prickly pear cactus"

    If it's spineless, it could be roadkill cactus Consolea rubescens.
