Thanks ;D, I am growing over 10 varieties of Opuntia ficus-indica. I found the short grafting PDF very useful but simple. I am going to try the grafting method with toothpicks and clear tape on the Opuntia ficus-indica varieties to speed up flower and fruit development.

Please keep us updated with your experiments! :)
I'm also growing some not-named/identified opuntias, but I want more ;)

Growing some accessions from here http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/tax_site_acc.pl?PARL%20Opuntia%20ficus-indica, you may find it interesting going through the USDA accession list.
