Is it Christmas again?

Don't know what got into this great Xmas cactus but it's in bloom, again. 2 of 3 buds have opened yesterday. Is this happening elsewhere? This flower is actually a bit more salmon.

A close up.

Well isn't that just a cute surprise Boojum?Lucky You and Very pretty! I have a yellow budding up again but only time will tell whether it will hold them or they all fall off before opening.I hope it blooms again : )

I have never seen a pink one ....this is really a treat!!!!

It's more salmon than pink. This is a more accurate color from Xmas.

I have one in full bloom right now with two others setting blooms.....surprised me, too, 'cause the one that is dense with blooms also bloomed about the first week of December......Deb

My Opa used to have a huge one that bloomed almost all year long. It was in a south window with a sheer curtain inbetween.

This plant was in an east window. Glad I'm not alone, depsi. What color is yours?

I have a red Christmas cactus that has been in full bloom since early January. Poor guy is getting tired looking now though. It is in a south facing window.

Your salmon colored one is beautiful; I've never seen that color before.

I'm enclosing a pic taken probably two weeks ago & it is much heavier with blossoms right now....the little guy that's setting blossoms looks to be solid red....Lord, I hope so...I just love the solid red and would love to find a yellow & a salmon, then I think I will have all the colors covered...Just got some Easter segments going, too, from the rental yard here in town...they have huge hanging cactus and they let me take starts.....Deb

Such beautiful blooms! I got a couple of blooms on my 'Jolly Dancer' recently, but nothing to write home about. I'd never see it bloom, so it was a treat just to get those few blooms.

On a different note, I keep waiting for my Easter cactus to start doing something. Does anyone know when it should set buds?

Around Easter. LOL! I have two-a red and a hot magenta. I thought I lost the red but after getting rained on all summer it thrived. I didn't know they like water so much. Now I water them all weekly. BTW, I have a yellow Xmas cactus too but not in bud or bloom now.

My white one if finishing off it's second blooming period now. They can bloom up to 4 times if grown right...

LOL, Boojum! Ya don't say?:) Easter is just a little over a month away. I'm gonna watch this plant like a hawk in the meantime. Maybe I'll set it in a sunnier window about now. Mine is hot pink and her name is 'Elsie'. Beautiful blooms. I'd never liked Easter cacti until I saw this one at my grocers last year. Now I'm smitten! And I also note that they like more water than Schlumbergeras.

Very nice. Maybe you can rename her the valentine cactus. :)

I like it! Valentine it is!

My Christmas cactus (I have two plants) bloom off and on through March or April, but the heaviest is always around Thanksgiving. I had an Easter cactus, but it just up and died. I read they are a lot more temperamental than the Christmas cactus, and often will die of apparently no reason. I have a white/pink Christmas cactus and a red/white one. Thor Britta and Harmony, I think their names are. I'd love to get a yellow one someday, but so far have not seen a single one for sale except online.

My white is blooming a few blooms, my red has it's last bloom folding and my yellow just finished last week. My shell pink one blooms off and on all winter.

I luv your pink Boojum! Yours is gorgeous to Deb!!

Here is a picture of my peach one blooming right now.

Oh Donna, she's so pretty!

Nice, Donna! Is she lighter than mine?

Thanks, Happy and Boojum! I don't think it's lighter. Like you said, I guess it depends on where you take the picture. Here is my red one blooming to. Mel had to get in the picture....lol.

what a gorgeous kitty!

Love those white paws.

Thanks!! This is the little kitty that my DD had following her to school on a busy street. The poor thing was probably only about 2 or 3 months old. She is definitely a sweetie.

Wow!,
and here I thought mine was freaking out becuase it had been moved from my Mother-in-laws estate (unfortunatly there are a few plants there that will die.. but Im trying to save what I can, tho Im having no luck with teh Cala lilies) and is somehow readjusting.
The odd thing is, its only blooming and setting blooms on the sid ethat faces the window!
I wonder if it should be fertilized to lessen teh stress its under producing a second blooming?
