| I have had the oddes thing happen on my Christmas Cactus. The blooms are a light pink to peach in color but this time when it bloomed it has two flowers that are red in color. They are not from a odd stem that is in the pot. They are blooming off the same stem as the other blooms. I will try and get a picture of it and post it. This is an old plant and in all the year I have had it I have never seen this. I could see if it was a totaly different stem but it is not. Any one else ever have odd things happen with their plants. |

| Hi, Paxmom! You have Thanksgiving Cactus, which I can see by the points on the margins of the leaves. Nice assortment of flower color!

| I've heard of them fading in color but never darker. It does appear they are both from the same stem. I wouldn't worry about it, just enjoy it. |

| How very pretty! I've never seen them come in different colors from the same stem. Thanks for posting! |

| i bought my mother an orange one about 5 years ago. Last year it popped out 2 white blooms on the same branch as the orange blossoms. strange but pretty. I wish i had a DNA diagnoses about the Christmas cactus and where it came from and how the multi colors came through the line but sadly i don't. Beautiful plant though:) |
