This Easter Cactus or Spring Cactus was labeled by the Nursery as Sunshine Cactus. It is at the center of a 18" diameter pot surrounded by Pink, Red and White Christmas Cacti in Rockledge, Florida (32955). This bloom took place however, way past Easter on 3rd of July.

The most beautiful Christmas Cactus I have ever seen. This pix was taken April 2004 in Foley, AL.

I love this plant. It seems to do well being root-bound. Blooms great every year around Easter.

This is what it looks like when it is not in bloom. Still a pretty plant

Purchased at the grocery April 2011 labeled as "Sunrise Cactus." A more unusual white color, it seems. Flowers close at night and reopen each morning.

Flowers still open more fully in some sun, as with desert cacti.
