I have had questionable plants that I've added and later felt it does a disservice to the clarity of the database. Thanks for asking this question though because it is important! It also is possible that there are only 2 or 3 cultivars with your color bloom or some other distinguishing attribute which would then allow you to make a better guess - in your research into this plant you may already know that, I know nothing, I just know that when I first joined ATP I didn't realize the value of a clean and accurate database I tip my hat to you.


Thanks! I will wait for more defined Easter cactus plant with an accurate cultivar. I got this plant at a garden center with no name! The big problem with the garden center sellers!
