    Our wonderful cacti are flowering again, just fantastic. This year however we seem to have double blooms. Is this a normal thing to happen. Ususally one of the two will die off but it looks like they are all going to make it

    sometimes plants go through a mutation like stage, i planted a single bloomed hardy hibiscus one year and it bloomed w/ single blooms and the second year it had double blooms

    I'm not sure if this is a common occurance or not, but it sure is neat looking. I think it is your Thanksgiving cacti's way of telling you they are happy.

    My catus is blooming double blooms too! As it is only my 2nd winter with it, I do not know if this this standard or not- blooms last year were single.
    all i know is- it is happy!!!
