Isn’t that a lovely name? Sounds horrid.  Also known as Easter or Spring Cactus.  I picked on up the other day, I actually wasn’t paying much attention…I saw it and grabbed because I have been looking for a replacement white Christmas cactus (Schlumbergera) and the buds looked to be the right shade to be a good white.  I admit, I was in a hurry and annoyed by not finding what I was looking for (good, healthy primroses in something that isn’t eye-popping neon)

The challenge is apparently to get them to bloom again, it needs rooms at 50-55 during the winter months…which is hard for most people; but it should be easy for us!

Here it is blooming:
