Opuntia subulata monstruosa (syn. Austrocylindropuntia subulata monstruosa)...

Looks like Opuntia subulata monstruosa (syn. Austrocylindropuntia subulata monstruosa)...

Goodness, the name is bigger than the plant :)

Great, Uma - thank you.
It's a monster, isn't it, Gee?

Oh, Wagger, no probs...:)

Yes, they do Homebird. I've two others just as shapely.

They must at some stage, Homebird - to propagate themselves - but I've never seen any. Live in hopes but maybe the conditions are wrong for them. Uma might know.

Wagger, most of the Opuntia varieties don't flower when keeping in house conditions. And "monstruosa" varieties flower more seldom then others. But it's possible! So, good luck!

Thanks, Uma - I shouldn't think my boiler room is ideal conditions, LOL.

Oh, you are a monster! How could you? LOL Poor cacti...

Well, it's light and cold but frost free in winter and light and warm in summer. The best I can do without buying a greenhouse, lol.

Yes, these conditions are rather good, but think, you should give them some fresh air in summers...They like being outdoors...:)

I'll put them outdoors for a holiday then, Uma - if we have a summer this year, LOL.

OK, Wagger, then I will not worry about them...:)

Wow very impressive.......

Glad you're impressed, Daisy, lol.
