froggiesgirl said:I'm looking for Thanksgiving cactus cuttings. The leaves are rounded as seen in the picture and the flowers are orangey-pink, tubular, and not "double" like modern hybrids. I can trade some red or white Christmas cactus cuttings. Thanks for your help! My grandmother had a Thanksgiving cactus and I'm rather nostalgic about getting some cuttings! I am new to ATP, but I've been a member of Dave's Garden for 11 years. My beautiful friend from Texas told me about your site. I don't want to post her name, but if you message me, I'll share her name. Thanks so much!

I really think this is exactly what you are wanting especially seeing the pics beside each other. The bloom is a salmon color (Moma's description of the color). This is the one that the original plant belonged to my great grandmother. Send me your address so when I get it to get a few roots I will put it in the mail to you
