fantastic pictures cactus flowers do look great perhaps it is the contrast from cacti.
I heard that you can eat the fruit of every single cactus variety.
I hadn't heard that all cacti flowers are edible, although I wouldn't be surprised if a few varieties have edible flowers. Sounds like an interesting subject to research.
Thanks for stopping by!

I meant the fruit. I am not sure about the flowers.
So if you are out in the desert starving and you see a cacti with a fruit on it you know that you can eat it.
I did some research and found that most cactus fruit is edible, but it doesn't aways taste very good.
More info at this forum.

Your Christmas cactus are beautiful.
My mother used to keep them and everytime I see them I think about my mom.
anonymous: I'm glad you like them. They are my Mom's plants; someday I'd like to try starting my own plants from them. I just haven't had the time or motivation.

Wow yours are huge! I have two which I don't take very good care of, but they still bloom every year for me. They are in an eastern facing window... maybe that's the key?
Angie: Most plants prefer a south facing window. I think east facing is second best. What makes them bloom is the amount of darkness they get each night, similar to a poinsettia.
