Beautiful! Yes, please do post more, thanks Nick!

I have 28 different varieties, and most of them are in bud now. This one was the first to bloom. I expect there to be more in bloom in about 2-3 weeks.

Getting towards the end of the season for the Thanksgiving cacti. Here are the last of them. The only things left now will be the xbuckleyi hybrids, which are true christmas cacti.

They add a nice burst of color to the GH in the winter. I took some flowers off to see if I could dry them out in a book.
