Ok CC
Found it,Is this what you're looking for?
I don't have a picture of the blooms,the funny part was that the silly thing had bloomed over the summer,aside from this past spring's bloom and it still has the things the blooms are attached to.Could there be seeds in there?
OH Yes! there are seeds in there,,lots of tiny seeds
Gloria, I have a pretty big one, accept I think you might would call it a Christmas Cactus, it has buds on it now. It is white with hot pink edges. Would this be the same thing?? If so I will put it in your box. LMK!!

Dee,
No, the Christmas Cactus and the Easter Cactus are different.
I already have the one you have but would you like some of this one?
CC,
Would you like some of this one too?
Yup,you can keep the pot and I'll take the whole thing...LOL
Is my easter cactus the one you're saying you have? Mine has red blooms,and the plant is totally differnt than the Christmas or Thanksgiving ones

CC,
No I don't have the cactus you have..yes...I'd love to have some of yours.
CC: Would I ever! Can you save me some for spring. Also, I lost the red fuschia I sent you, have to look up the name.
Bondstadt Garten, I think?
Yup ,I have it and its still alive and blooming!
I can send you some back
wanna wait till spring?
CC - are you gonna share the seeds to your Easter cactus? I'd love to try a couple... hint, hiny :) I wonder how hard they'd be to get started...
I just picked up a couple more holiday cactuses at wally-world for $2 each. These seem to be one of the few house plants I haven't killed.... the other is Aloes - LOl!
It is easy for me to kill the cactus and aloe. I have a problem with over watering. My BIL from VA just brought me three more aloe plants and I potted them up and try really hard not to water them along with the other plants. So far, so good.
Yeah,I can send you some of the seeds...
I have no clue how to start them!
