Doesn't look like ficus indica. Stricta is more common there. Cladodes match stricta more. On top of that the flowers do not open as wide. Same goes for related photos

@BlueOddish can you confirm this observation? I should know my prickly pears better but I don't. Thank you for bringing this up, Stefan.

Sorry for the late reply, been busy with a new videogame. Big Grin
Unfortunately, I have little experience with O. ficus-indica and none with O. stricta but based on Stefan's observations and some online investigation I'm inclined to agree with him.

We need to select which photos need to be moved, then. These flower photos match Stefan's description







These 2 are from the same location



Any others that need to be moved?

Let me see...from the bottom up, 1,2 and 4 are legit ficus indica photos. Notice how the flower is a closed cup rather than open with separate sepals, and the density of the glochids. The others are stricta, of that I am certain.

Also stricta. You can see the clear difference in fruit appearance. More pear like.
