Here is another shot of the Petra's pink. It is blooming again.
I have decided, after a chat with my friend from the Atlanta Botanical Garden, that I would call it a Schlumbergera x buckleyi , Petra's Pink Noid, Old Fashion Christmas Cactus. That way I am not misleading anyone when I sell it. I know it is old and it is pot bound and it blooms later than the other hybrids. I also can use that in my Cubit's database.
I know it is "special" but maybe it is only "special" to me.
I just sold twelve cuttings from it a week ago but it has been too cold to ship. I am going to ship next Tuesday. They are going to California and she knows it is a noid.
Thanks for all that good information. It is amazing how much history some of these cactus have. I just wish they could talk about it.
