Just realize I'll edit it to delete the bad pic and it shows up as soon as I come back to it.

Thanks for the feedback! I did delete the pixel picture and it may be I'll water it ASAP.

I also say it is a thirsty prickly pear.

Hello & welcome to Noah! I changed the order of your photos so that peolpe could see what you're referring to but as Scott says, it's probably best to delete the pixelated one.
Your Cacti looks like an Opuntia (or Prickly Pear) species. It also looks VERY thirsty.

Your first photo is super-pixelated. You should remove or replace it. Thanks
