I have no idea when or where I got this plant. I have had it for at least 20 years. It has been a real challenge for me to keep as it is more sensitive to both wanting more water and burning easily from too much sun, the yellow pads are calloused brown from too much sun.

Each pad is green to light green in color and rimmed with a deep red, and stiff hairs or spines emanate from the terminal pads end on each branch. The flowers are deeply fuchsia to hot pink in color and are similar to cacti such as Rhipsalidopsis or Haitoria.

All thoughts, prognostications and emanations from beyond are appreciated regarding what this critter might be.
