I have a large Christmas Cactus that bloomed beautifully at Christmas. Now, for the first time ever, it is blooming again - on Memorial Day - May 25th.

In other years it has bloomed at Thanksgiving and sometime a little late - after Christmas, but this is a first.

Mine was loaded with blooms at Christmas and then bloomed again with them opening on Easter Weekend.

My cactus has the same color blooms.

My mother had one for years and years. It was her mother's and she inhereted it after she passed away. I wasn't near my Mum when she passed away so I don't know where all her plants went but I do remember everytime it was in bloom, which seemed like year round, she'd make such a big deal about it. I don't know what she did but it was gorgeous. Just ablaze with flowers. Just a couple weeks ago I was walking downtown and saw what looked similar hanging in a barbershop window. I went in to look and the barber asked me if he could help me. I just commented on his hanging cactus and told him my Mum had one. He asked me if I'd like a cutting, I said SURE. I didn't expect that. I brought it home, cut it in half and put it in water for a week then potted it. Here is a picture of it. I have a whole room filled with plants so after I nurse this little baby into adolesence, it will have a place in there with all my other plants. I'm not sure what type of cactus this is, it was more like a vine. Lots of air roots and very long sections. No flowers though. Maybe it'll bloom for me sometime. All my plants flower. So far anyway.

I think you have to have 50 posts under your belt before you get access to all of the extras in the forum.
