Christmas Cactus



The unusual stems and timely blossoms of these commonly grown house plants are both delightful and fascinating.  Christmas cactus is an old favorite.  It has striking, bright green arched branches made up of flat, scalloped 11/2 inch long joints.  The branches droop, especially when in bloom.  It's multi-trumpeted, 3-inch long, rosy red flowers, plus other colors, appear at Christmas time.
