Christmas cactus
Thanksgiving cactus

My 3 fav jungle cacti, and I have all three

I identified one in another forum today....Ric Rac cactus, also an epiphitic jungle cactus. :-)

Old Man Cactus? Never grown one, but I have seen them.

Let's see..

Rose Cactus..Pereskia

Redbird Cactus...Pedilanthus

If you add Christmas, Thanksgiving and Easter Cactus together, you get Holiday Cactus.

I've thought of at least one plant often grown as a houseplant, and always commonly CALLED cactus as part of the common name....but isn't!

Any guesses?

Oh the suspense! Someone will get it.

Rat-Tail Cactus...another Epiphyllum
Strawberry Cactus..Mammillaria
Strawberry Cactus...Echinocereus stramineus
Barrel Cactus...Ferocactus wislizenii

Anyone ever see the commercial for Fabreze Cactus Flower commercial? What a load.............

Rhizo, you're driving me up the wall. lol.

Rhizo, is it the Starfish cactus?

That's not the one I'm thinking of, Greybird. I have to admit that I've never heard Stapelia (Carrion Flower) called Starfish Cactus. Interesting. Has anyone else heard of that? So your guess is a good one.

I HATE to tell you yet, because I know you all love a good mystery.

A clue would be that it's not some obscure, whacky doodle plant. We see pictures of them in here now and then. Another clue might be the fact that I've never heard of this plant called anything but "blankety cactus ".

I promise that I'll give you the answer before I go to bed. OR I might offer a give away clue. :-)

Pencil cactus??

Pencil cactus it is....Euphorbia tirucalli. :-)

Hookers orchid cactus
Grafted cactus aka moon cactus
