These flowers opened today! This Christmas Cactus blooms from November to April with colorful cascades of flowers.
At age 17, I started it from two cuttings in Michigan. It is uplifting during dark winter months.
Flower buds develop on the side of the plant facing the window. When flowers start opening, I spin the plant around. Then new flower buds develop facing the window.
Flower buds need water to plump up.
I love it when they bloom right at the bleakest time of year...beautiful!
Lovely. Simply lovely. Must be.a XMAS cacti. Great time of year for something colorful, alive...
