The red claw

Or some hungry mouth if you prefer.

Doesn't it look like that? It a Thanksgiving Cactus I think. There are three very similar ones: Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. I know the Easter one has different flowers. But I am not sure of the differences between the first two besides that they are supposed to bloom for a different holiday.

The whole flowers is a stunning one! Big, tomato-red with few layers of petals, very pale pink center and a ton of pollen on the stamens. Fun plant to have and so easy to grow and propagate. The stems are created of segments that you can snap off. Let the end dry a bit and put it in soil. It will grow roots in no time!

Do you guys have it? What colour? I know they come in few, but I only see those red, pink and white ones.
