I'm looking for Thanksgiving cactus cuttings. The leaves are rounded as seen in the picture and the flowers are orangey-pink, tubular, and not "double" like modern hybrids. I can trade some red or white Christmas cactus cuttings. Thanks for your help! My grandmother had a Thanksgiving cactus and I'm rather nostalgic about getting some cuttings!

Thanksgiving cactus cuttings wanted
Look up Rhipsalidopsis gaertnerii aka easter cactus - I think that's what you have in your picture. Walmart carries this plant in red, orange, white, pink and purple around easter - cost is around $4 each.
Thanks, Kayjones. I do have an Easter cactus. I thought this was a Thanksgiving cactus, but I guess I was mistaken.
Watch the time it blooms - one blooms near t.g. or Christmas, the other near Easter - that will tell you which one it is. The leaves on each type is very different, too.
JULIE, I HAVE 4 THAT ARE BLOOMING NOW. DON'T KNOW IF IT'S WHAT YOUR LOOKING FOR
