Hello,
I have adopted a large hanging basket with multiple succulents and cacti within it. Below are what I think are Cacti - But could be wrong with two of them!!
The middle one is now blooming with little white flowers on the ends.
The third one has a smell to it - Herb like - I have not pegged the smell as of yet.
Please help - Thank you -

The pictures are awfully small, but the first 2 are cacti of the genus Rhipsalis. The first, I think is R. pilocarpa. R. cereuscula is my guess for the second one - a close-up of the flowers would help. No idea what the third one is, but I don't think it's a cactus.

Thank you - sorry the photos are too small

My guess is R. baccifera horrida for the first one.

You might be right, it looks very similar to pilocarpa. Easy to tell the difference when they bloom, "R. pilocarpa has flowers of 1/2 inch in diameter and similar sized red fruit with hairy tufts. In contrast, R. baccifera has tiny white flowers no wider than the stems themselves. These develop into pea-sized smooth white fruits."luddhus wrote:My guess is R. baccifera horrida for the first one.
