There are three different jungle cactus in my collection, two orchid cactus and a night-blooming cereus. One of the orchid cactus plants is an old friend, having come from brother Tim over twenty years ago. It cycles through good and bad years and blooms every now and then with huge, electric magenta flowers. The second orchid cactus came from a cutting that Leon\u2019s cousin brought to the family reunion several years ago. I grew it on and it has gotten to blooming size\u2013we\u2019ll see if any buds appear in the spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
