A Gift That Keeps On Growing A gift that keeps on growing Our incredible selection of desert-adapted plants are a thoughtful and eco-friendly present sure to brighten any space, plus, many of our plants available are the same varieties you’ll see in our gardens. The Schlumbergera bridgesii, more commonly known as the Christmas cactus is an especially thoughtful gift as they symbolize the importance of family and friends and can also serve as living memorial. Native to the coastal mountains of Brazil, these relatively easy-to-care-for plants feature colorful and showy flowers that bloom from late fall to early winter.
