Christmas Cactus

I know they're neither a cactus or have anything to do with Christmas but what the hey? right?
This is a yellow flowered one and it bloomed it's brain out this year.

  1. I have one of these too, the red type and despite how demanding they are, mine bloomed very well.

  2. I purchased one of these today. Makes a nice change from the usual pinks and reds!

    Believe it or not, they are actually TRUE cacti, just like their spiny counterparts that live in the desert. Cacti are defined as having small felty areas called arioles, this is where the spines and flowers emerge.
