I love these just as much as poinsettias...or maybe more. I had one for years and years from my husbands aunt. She gave it to me when we got married. All of a sudden ..it died. I could never figure out why. I have bought other ones but I just don'e have good luck with them. Your cactus is just gorgeous. Enjoy it until the last flower is gone, Marlene.
My Christmas cactus bloomed very early, around Halloween this year, but now it has a new batch of buds that look like they will open around New Year's. They seem to have a mind of their own!
mine bloomed for Thanksgiving - while I was away... hoping it blooms again, since it is forming buds again now.. keeping fingers crossed for New Year blooms.
I'm still waiting on mine. 49 years ago, I received a pressed flower with a few segments of the cactus in a Christmas card. I planted those segments and have turned the resulting plant into many over the years. Even if it is late, I will enjoy those blooms.
Marlene, I lost your email addy, and I dont see one on your blog. I had to change my email because it was connected to my bank visa card which got stolen and someone helped themselves to our acct.. Anyway long story short please write to me with your email I want to ask you a question.. Thank you Izzy Renbjor gmxizzy@gmail.com
Very pretty!

ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty! I hope it lasts past Christmas for you! ~Jeanne
ReplyDeleteI LOVE IT!!!! I tried growing one of these and could NOT get it to blossom at all.
ReplyDeleteYours is absolutely delightful.
Good for your and your green thumb.
How lovely, the family wont allow me to bring plants in the house, they say I look at them and they die at the door.
