ya think turkey cactus, thanksgiving cactus, and christmas cactus are all the same plant???? the bloom looks differnt on yours than my christmas cactus but the leaves are the same. (actually the blooms are the same but my 'christmas cactus' doesn't have multi colored blooms on the same plant)

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh
I lead you in the wrong direction......

They arent on the same plant.. Those are all different plants , each color.
But your idea sounded good ..LOL

Which bloom on mine is different?

Easter cactus is clear different ..Type it in google and see.

i think barb has more than one plant in that pot, all blooming at the same time.

there are 3 distinct varieties of the plant. they are all epi's, not true cacti.

the differences are in the "teeth" on the "leaves"

that, combined with lighting determine when they bloom.
