ID on this Easter cactus
Whadya mean your local nursery has it?!?! YOU should have it in your garden! It's gorgeous! :-)
sorry I can't help on an ID though

Oh Julie I so wish I'd picked it up. When I went back to get it someone else had grabbed it!
I did go into the back though where they keep their stock plants and I think they might have some others.
It has the biggest flowers I've ever seen on this type of cactus.
Such a pretty color and the shape appears to be slightly different too. Lovely!
It name Hatiora gaertneri... (Rhipsalidopsis)
Check it out on Desert tropical link:

Rusty, does your red look like this? If so, do you have a name for it?
boojum, that's a magnificent flower! And a lovely angle on the photo too :-).

Thanks Julie,
I was pretty surprised when it opened so big on such a small plant. I found it in a plant shop looking kinda sick and knew it was "something" because of the fuzzy stuff on each section.
yes it all same plant as I have red and hot pink.
