(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 have several of what is in your pic, a "Christmas Cactus", but the

one I
ask about is not the same. It has individual "stems" 2 to 3.5 feet

long
with large red flowers about three inches across - unless the

"Christmas
Cactus" has larger varieties??


No, I don't think its a Zygocactus either.
Much more likely to be the Epiphyllum hybrid.
