We recently got this christmas cactus from Mom and Dad. Planted in 1928, it was a gift from Winnie Edmunds, called "Grandma E." She was a neighbor of ours in Wilsonville, Oregon in the early 1970s.
Grandma E was the widow of Fred Edmunds, and they started Edmunds Roses. She has a rose named after her, a tea rose called rosa wini edmunds. I remember seeing one up at Washington Park. There is a photo of one (from San Jose) here.
The year this cactus was planted, Calvin Coolidge was the president.
