TroubleX2: Your picture shows a great example of a Thanksgiving cactus rather than a Christmas one. Notice the horns on the branch segments up the sides. That makes this one a Thanksgiving cactus. The Christmas cactus has segments with no horns on the sides but with a scalloped top to the segment with the flower in the middle. An Easter cactus has rounded segments with no horns at all.
Hope this helps! I, too, have caught Epie fever and have added around 90 to my collection. All are starter segments at this time but will be fun to watch. Several people sent me seeds and they are now "seeable" new plants that I plan on enjoying as they mature. I love raising orchids, iris, day lilies, and Epies. bob
