christmas cactus

I bought three brightly coloured christmas cacti yesterday. They were quite small so I potted all of them together. The colours are gorgeous. They had a white one too but I did not have the money to buy that too .

Very nice - EVERYONE should have a few to keep their orchids company.

... and hence the phrase: "Variety is the spice of life" LOL

Thanks mayres. I wish I had a fraction of the number of flowers as found on these Cacti on my orchids

I took this photo this morning. My Phals. have 4-6 flowers each, THAT IS IT

Beautiful. I have an old Christmas Cactus that blooms like clockwork every year. It's comprised of 4 different plants, all different colors. The original colors were similar to yours along with yellow. They're now mostly coral colored. A very fun plant!

Enjoy.

Mine, no matter what I do, is a Veteran's to Thanksgiving Day cactus. So be it. It's good company in November. -- Bill
