I believe it is an opuntia monacantha



Someone mentioned that possibly it could be a brasiliopuntia, but it lacks the round trunk. It's height is due to the way I prune it. The second picture is the same clone (I have more clones of this then I know what to do with)

C'era nna vota, dintra un curtigliu

ci la pusavu la zzi Titina
ma mai na tinta pala di ficu
fici radici di lu so tirrenu

Nna beddra matina china si suli
mminzu a li canala e ali tarnitti
s'affacciavu di lu tettu vicchiu
nna pala virdi di ficudinnia
la grasta e la pala si talianu di l'ucchi
di lu silenziu cchiu rispittusu
poi la grasta si piglia di curaggiu
e ci arrivorgi la parola

<<cchi ffa drancapu, scinni ccassutta>>
dissi la grasta indispittita
<<iu sugnu sula e fazzu la muffa
tu trilla trilla ti godi la vita>>
<<cu mi lu fa fari ma ddiri tu!>>
c'arrispusi lesta la pala di ficu
cca c'è nna vista ca nun ti dicu
nun scinnu mancu morta ammazzata

Si mossi ddrucu la ficudinnia
ca in galera nun ci voli stari
libera all'aria, ccu li palummi
domina li tetta incontrastata
e nun ci talia ve di ddrassutta
ca cu la grasta iè sciarriata
teni sutt ucchiu tuttu un paisi
ca iè la rigina di li canalata.

It took me a long time to write this poetry, and I couldn't ever done in another lenguage than Sicilian.
the Idea came to my mind the same moment i snapped this photo. My town (should i say village?) is pretty old and rustic. there are plenty of abandoned places and some intresting glimpses. like this.
Since Opuntia ficus Indica grows so well in sicily, it's not uncommon to se it growing on the roofs. Just a bird leaving some seeds, a bit of dirt, sun , occasional rains, that's it.
translated it loses a lot of it's original content, but i will try do the best ( since i can't really do a translation)

Once upon a time, inside a courtyard
there was a wide ancient claypot
had a bit of soil inside it's belly
but never had a plant inside it's heart
layng on the balcony
the pot was put there by old lady Titina
but in the years, not even the worst opuntia
ever laid roots onto his dirt

One beautiful day, enlightned of sun
inbetween the shingles
appeared from the old roof
on green pad of Ficus indica
the pot and the pad looked in each other's eyes
during the most respectuful silence
then the pot took courage
and turned the word to the pad

"what are you doing up there, come down here"
said the pot, in angry tone
"I am alone, and i make the mold
you instead, are enjoyng your life"
"why should i come down there?"
said easily the opuntia pad
you can't even imagine the view
i won't come down, not even if dead

So the opuntia stood there
cause she doesen't want to be imprisoned
free in the air, alongside the birds
she dominates the roofs, unopposed
And she doesent look down there
because she's ostile to the clapot
she just holds an eye to the city
cause she's the queen of the gutters

Yep. it sounds terrible, but i tries to keep the same meaning of the original one. i assure you that the sicilian version sounds really good.
pheraps someone want's to make corrections of the english version?

I have a couple of the same clones but I can't remember what the name is. I'll check when things warm up a lil and let you know.

I don't get why people would spend such big money for a pot like this. definitely exaggerated.

I knew it was something interesting. keep us informed on how it grows. Why does it have sooo much shade though?

One of my favorite cacti



It's been under the 1000 watt for the last month and a half, and has really liked it. I made the mistake of planting in sand a few years ago, which turned to hard cement, and doesn't allow much root movement, but overall it seems to be happy
