Opuntia humifusa x pottsii

These hybrids were made by Jeff Thompson.

Opuntia humifusa "Stockholm"

This hybrid has an upright growth and spines, probably a hybrid with either phaecantha or macrorhiza.

Humifusa hybrids combine the traits of humifusa with the traits of the other parens.
They are relatively new, and often can take and need quite a lot of water.
Pads are mostly spineless, and colours can be anything.
