Latest Update! Sighting Confirmed!!!

Cactus fanatics, I bring you the greatest news since the 1954 Maplewood Township crisis! I am happy to report that Ernie, on his patrols of field unit van 2, has made a stealth pass of a house somewhere near Houston, TX, supposedly on the northeast side of the city. On this drive-by, Ernie spotted something mysterious, and sure enough, after glancing at the picture once again, he confirmed the reported sighting of the cactus in photograph form! Unfortunately, we have lots communication with van 2, perhaps due to the last phone that was cut short when our fearless driver made a wrong turn. Ernie has always been a little 'iffy,' but he was available and willing to go. We really need better field agents.

We hope to finally have the location pinned down before Christmas passes us by and the legendary Christmas Cactus is swept off into mystery for yet another year.

Fellow Cactus Hunters, I present to you the biggest break we've had in year, and the only known photo of the Christmas Cactus in its current form.
