That's not my pictures, Ill upload them after when I find them back
basically one time I was super happy to get these one :
You can find them in the south of France, perhaps only even a bit under Paris, to Marseille and the like
I have perhaps a photo of mine (this one is from the web) I need to find it back
The last time I got cactus ("figuier de barbarie" in french, same, you find them on the miditerranean border) I managed to have a flower wich is almost impossible on my climate (north/north east France). Never been able to replicate the stuff.
Here is a picture still from the web, I probably have mine on fb I'll share it next time.
In south of france, you find mainly 3 variety of this kind of cactus. This picture is one variety, small pike close to each other, Ive one BIG cactus plant of this variety wich never gave flower. This one correspond often to the "cultivated" variety from what Ive seen in south, probably due to his delicacy in term of look compared to other.
Ive one of the two other variety and this is from this other variety I got flower, this is the most common variety that you find in nature as in gardens. Flower are basically the same as the first variety I was writing about so I didn't took time to find the exact variety in term of picture compared to what Ive had in garden.
The last variety is more white it term of color (or more green/dark blue with white reflect), and is far bigger (racquet and generall size). From XP Fruit of this last variety are the better to eat even if they have almost small rock like seeds into them but strangely at fruit shop they sell only fruit from the second variety.
Yes so Its the first variety I was speaking about, the two first I was speaking about has the same flower :
