I first noticed the buds on the Christmas cactus in December, but it wasn’t until a couple of days ago that it burst into bloom. Now it is a delightful combination of buds and flowers and it’s so cheery to have in the kitchen on a cold January day!
This is for the FOTD challenge.

Sorry about that – it’s hard to remember to water plants sometimes… 🙂

Beautiful. Maybe this cactus is as confused as we humans are. Been a rough year in 2020.

I love Christmas cactuses. My mother had a windowsill full of them, and they were so pretty. I love the color of yours. Beautiful, Meg.

I had two beautiful Christmas cactus plants but my cats loved to sleep on top of them! But your beautiful photo makes me want to try again… I have to find a location they can’t get to (ha ha ha).

We always had a Christmas cactus in the UK. Not sure that you can get them here. 😦

With its hanging branches and beautiful blossoms, Christmas cacti is a pretty stunning plant. My aunty used to have one, and we always waited patiently for it to show off the gorgeous flowers 🙂

How beautiful! I have a Christmas cactus with just one flower on it now – a creamy colour – which is out of season in my subtropical climate. We have had a few cooler days this summer though, so perhaps my poor plant is confused!
