From the family Cactaceae, flowering cacti are native to the tropical jungles of the Americas, and are sometimes called "Jungle Cacti". There are over three thousand assorted classes of Cacti that are found in the wild and they have been found in wasteland areas and dense forests. The major difference between Christmas Cacti and the spring variety, besides the time of blooming, is that Spring Cacti have radially symmetrical flowers that typically open wider. They are available in yellow, pink, peach, red and white varieties.
