I have a friend with a 100 year old Christmas cactus. It looks very different from the ones I have. In fact, I've never seen another like it. I would ask her for a cutting for you, but we just barely rescued the poor thing from the brink of death a few months ago. I'm taking care of it for now. It's coming back with vigor, but still really small.

I've attached a (somewhat goofy) picture of it. The leaves are really rounded. It's really neat. My friend says she's never seen it flower, but maybe it will one day, since it's been repotted and revived.
