Annotation Notes
09/20/2005 Dora Jakobsdottir  taxon changed Unknown (Cactus Flower) Nopalxochia ackermannii (Red Orchid Cactus)
Probably this species. 
02/19/2006 Joseph W. Dougherty  taxon changed Nopalxochia ackermannii Opuntia cochenillifera (Cochineal Cactus)
This is not an "orchid cactus," but rather appears to be a "beavertail cactus." In particular, it looks like Opuntia cochenillifera.
