A different type of Opuntia monacantha variegata? (Josephs Coat)

[gr33ntea]

This plant i have looks very similar to Opuntia monacantha variegata (Josephs Coat)
It is variegated, forms that pink tinge to it except it forms clumps, flowers a lot, and is a lot more tube like instead of out standard Josephs coat.

Here are pictures of it

And this is what the standard one looks like

,

Does anyone know what it is called?

Note: SOrry the images aren't across, i have them in this format:

" [ sharedmedia=gallery:images:10360] [ sharedmedia=gallery:images:10330] "

And yet the images still aren't across :S

joseph's coat comes in the miniaturized form which you've pictured, as well as a full size form, which your plant is a monstrous form of.

same pic, but i posted it 3 times to illustrate how easy it is to post pics side by side

It works with Attachments Code: [ sharedmedia=core:attachments:51554 ] [ sharedmedia=core:attachments:51555 ]

But not if it is from the Gallery .... i guess in future i will have to attach it somewhere and then post it Code: [ sharedmedia=gallery:images:10363 ] [ sharedmedia=gallery:images:10362 ]

Are there any viable seeds in those pods? By the way, I've never seen one like that!! Mine has never flowered and it's got flat pups, but the same exact color and patterning as that one. Interesting plant!!

I am going to put it in proper soil with space so it can expand, judging by its growth rate in the shitty tub of dry soil it should explode in the big tub. ANd i'll give it to anyone who wants.

I neglected this in my greenhouse, i have never seen it flower, but i touched it and peel it. It is definitely a flower petal

It looks like you have seed pods right next to the flower that have already gone through fowering. If I were you I'd let them mature and check for seeds.

Here are some more pics i took. I will leave it on and see if it produces seeds.

Third Image is interesting because it is in clump form and has an offset that is in normal form
