Hi, I'm new here...does this cactus-succulent come in different colors or just orange? I saw a huge one in bloom & it was a site to behold:)

I just did a google image search and this is just beautiful. Is it by any chance an orchid cactus? It's looking like I'm going to have to start ordering succulents on line, because the nurseries here just won't use the proper names.

I would love to get some more also. Hi TiG...remember me from the Brug forum?:0)
What is the commercial name of this particular succulent? Anyone know?

No, no, you didn't get my apology. I read your message wrong, I only saw the part about cactus and succulents, not your special species, you must have all thought the medication was getting to me [;o)I do that once in a while, I am very sorry, I was a wee bit careless. Norma

Hi there. I have been trying to track down a source, -Jim Hunter has them. However, my 'guru'(won't tell you who!)
told me me gave up on them because of their propensity for mealy bugs. they are basically rat tail cactus crossed with epiphyllum, -but buggy! careful if you introduce them to a collection.
that's my 2 cents worth!
