This is a good time to talk about these Holiday beauties.
The Holiday Cactus (or Thanksgiving cactus) will soon be blooming away
in all the stores and in our homes.
Soon followed by the real Christmas Cactus. YES! There is a difference!
The Easter Cactus will bloom some time in May or June. Not always for Easter..

Some years ago--we had long discussions going on here and we all learned a lot
from JB (Jacquie Berger). MAN! Did she know everything about these beauties!!

For those of you who have the time--here are links to the previous six Threads
where these beauties were discussed and dissected to no end.
You will learn a lot, though.
