I am looking for Thanksgiving Cacti cuttings with deep red and deep purple flowers. No pink, yellow, white and orange/salmon please.
Variegated Schlumbergera also is my wish list.
I have the Thanksgiving Cacti cuttings with fuchsia and white center flowers for trade.
Trade in USA only.
Thanks!

Wanted: Thanksgiving Cacti cuttings
Hi Connie :)
Did I send you some S. "fantasy" cuttings? They're salmon color and bloom between T-giving and X-mas. If I didn't , please let me know. I've got a bunch :)
Eric
How do you know if you have the Thanksgiving or the Xmas or the Easter cactus?
: )Donna
Hi Donna.
The Thanksgiving cactus leaves have pointed lobes and X-mas cactus leaves have rounded lobes. And the Easter cactus have round leaves with no segments. Hope this helps :)
Eric
Thanks for the explanation, Eric. I think I have all Xmas cactus. I'll have to look more closely in the morning. Do you have any extra Thanksgiving Cactus to trade for?
:) Donna
Donna,
I think I can handle that :)
Eric
Ooooh that would be awesome! I have a red epi that I could send you a piece.
:) Donna
Eric, Yes, I have S. "fantasy" cuttings. I don't know that they have salmon color flowers. I cross out salmon color. :-)
Donna,

Me too, Me too!!! I'd love to have some if you have extras. See my trade list if you'd like to trade.
Donna,
Its a deal!! Thanks so much! BTW...do you know which Epi it is?
Betsy,
If you have any African Violets left, that would work. If not, just send me a SASBE
Thanks ya'll

Okay by checking I do have one Xmas Cactus and three different colored Thanksgiving Cactus. Does any of mine look like yours, Eric?
All I need know is a Easter one. Don't have that one! Does anyone have any to trade?
:) Donna
Hi Donna,
My X-mas cactus looks like yours, The peach Thanksgiving cacus has more orange in it than mine does. Btw...that red Epi is gorgeous!! Is it an "Ackermanii"?
Eric
I really don't know, Eric. I got it at a garage sale last year from an older Italian couple.
:) Donna
ok :)
Eric, do you have any of the Easter Cactus??
:) Donna
Donna,
I have one type of cactus thats marked "Easter cactus", but it looks more like "Donkey's tail". So, I'm not sure.
Eric
Why don't you take a picture to show us.
:) Donna
OK Donna,
These 2, I got from a friend and were marked Easter cactus.
Eric
And heres #2
The first picture I think is a rattail cactus and the second could be a Xmas one. It also looks like there are a few other kinds in the pot also.
:) Donna
HI Donna.
here is a pic of my easter catcus....i just started the cuttings not that long ago which were from my mom's plant....hers has bloomed twice this year and blooms red..
Sandy
Donna,
The #2 picture is of just 1 plant
Eric
Sorry, Eric. Some of the shapes looked different to me. Maybe I need to clean my glasses.
Sandy, lucky girl! Does your Mom have anymore cuttings she would like to trade?
:) Donna
Donna...
You're an Cacti-holic!!! lol But so am I !! ;-)
Yep, but not quite there yet! I need a few more....lol. So do you think your Thanksgiving is different enough to trade or do you have something else I would be interested in?
:) Donna
Donna,
Oops... I made a boo-boo.The S. "Fantasy" are "X-mas Fantasy". They are salmon colored and bloomed between TG and X-mas. The only other thing I have to trade right now are "Rose Campion" seeds. If you're interested, a cutting from the red Epi would be fine. Whichever you want or you can have some of both :)
Eric
Eric if you have the Salmon colored Xmas, I would to trade for a couple of pieces of it. Emaiil me if you are interested.
:) Donna
