Calling all the Texans out there. What kind of cactus is this? Is it a Christmas Cactus or something else?
Yes thats me, lol! I bit cool this morning and I need to keep my back warm or it spasms on me.

My guess is a Christmas Cactus, but it is the biggest one I've ever seen!!! It sure is beautiful and full of blooms. I love those, but always kill them, not intentionally, but dead just the same. Hugs & Blessings, Judy in Amarillo

From the bloom - I would guess a Christmas Cactus. But it IS the biggest I have ever seen.

Dito! It is very big. Don't know that I have seen one so large before. Wish mine would stay alive and grow so nice with beautiful blooms. Flowers to you.

I don't think it's a Christmas cactus. It doesn't grow as far North as Austin, that's for sure. It looks like it has spines, does it?

Is the pink part a flower or the fruit that formed after the flower died? To me it looks like a relative of the prickley pear which is a noxious weed here

Oh, I don't think a Christmas Cactus - but pretty regardless.

My guess, it IS a Christmas cactus, as I have a variety much smaller in my sunroom, here in Georgia (USA)! But, we all know everything is BIGGER in Texas!!
