(A cactus from Jim Warham - ID Please)

I have the same, I don't know what it is either, but it flowers thre times
a year and has about 30 flowers each time. It's in a pot 12" across, it
spreads about 3 feet up and across...

Any ideas?


That looks like a so-called 'christmas cactus' (several varieties)

I like 'Jims cactus' lower down on your page, it looks like a trimmed
cucumber with a posy on it!

It actually is one species with a graft of another species on top. the graft
is a mutant with no clorophyll hence it needs to be grafted onto something
that does have it.
