A Cactus for Christmas!

Cacti are usually not at the top of most people’s gift list, to give or receive. This is probably because they are generally thought of as prickly desert dwellers. Not all cacti fit this description though - especially not the colorful, completely thorn-free, easy care holiday cactus. Developed from the old-time Christmas cactus, the modern holiday cactus has larger flowers than its parent, blooms in both winter and spring, and would make a great gift for anyone.
