The Christmas cactus in bloom always reminds me of my grandmother who grew these and other winter blooming plants like kalanchoe in her large, sunny front window. I spotted some on sale after the holidays last year and decided to give one a try for the first time in years. Living in a warmer climate makes it easier to find a place for these.
My grandmother's Christmas cactus bloomed in soft pinks. When I purchased this plant the blooms were long gone so it was a surprise when gorgeous bright red blooms appeared this year. Like a winning raffle ticket.
They look like pretty red holiday ornaments.
Perfect for the season.

Your plant looks really healthy and happy. I really must look after mine better.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Gorgeous color on those blooms. I've grown Christmas cactus before. I always seem to lose them during a drought.
ReplyDeleteNow that's a beautiful plant! The ones I see up there always look a little tortured. As though they should have been thrown out a couple of years ago.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful red blooms. Perfect for the upcoming holiday season. Thanks for sharing the photos. Jack
