I was recently informed this is a Thanksgiving Cactus, not a Christmas Cactus. I can accept that fact but it doesn't feel right. Christmas Cactus seems like a gift, Thanksgiving Cactus sounds like a side dish. Hope you like them, not sure they're eddible although a lot of flowers are.
Always struck me like an angel flying.

Very nice set. Beautiful flowers nicely cropped and presented. I like the soft, blurred background, it sets off the flowers well.

Very nice. I especially like the second one, very nice tonal and textural rendering.

Very nice. There is also an Easter Cactus. The difference among the three is the shape of the leaf.

We always called ours Christmas Cactus but they are revving up for Thanksgiving. A little behind yours.
We have three plants.

Beautiful plant and set Reuss, especially like the ‘pair in flight’.
