One day, with not so subtle hints from me, my husband bought me three Christmas cacti. When I got home I researched the plants so I could give them the best care to my abilities. I found that the yellow ones were pretty and told him I should have picked one of those up too. Later that week he brought home the yellow one. Now I have a Salmon, a White, a Lavender (it does not look lavender to me) and a Yellow. Three days ago I decided to pollinate the flowers and see if I can produce seeds. I have learned that my plants might not produce seeds but I am hoping for the best

The call this Lavender but I think it is pink.
This is also pollinated

I read that the "stars" had to be open but some said it did not matter. I guess I will see. An example of a open star is the white flower.
