Above is a Christmas cactus that my Mom had presented to my daughter-in-law at Thanksgiving. When my DIL left for home she accidentally forgot the plant. I was lucky enough to see it bloom. Now if only I can keep the plant alive till I can return it to its rightful owner. :)
Linking to Pink Saturday and Today's Flowers.
Mine bloomed like this and was so pretty. It has just lost it's blooms. I had a bright red one that bloomed for the first time this year. It truly was lovely to see.
I bought 2 this year - one for me and one for my aunt. I am hoping mine will survive this year...hers will probably do fine because she babies every plant I take her! This is a pretty one you are taking care of...
I have one of these blooming right beside my computer. It doesn't get the right care but still blooms for me. I had another one that was a much darker color. This one also blooms at Easter.
That is so beautiful. Anytime I see one of those it takes me back to my childhood when my mom had one and had waited for several years for it to bloom and the best I remember it had one blossom on it and one of us kids broke it off accidentally. Needless to say mom wasn't very happy.
Beautiful Christmas cactus. I had one that looked just like that for around 15 years but one year I left it outside to long and it froze. I always took it outside in the summer and brought it inside in the fall but alas forget it one year.
It's beautiful! I remember the red one my mother had and ever since I have always had a soft spot for them. Thank you Carletta and enjoy the rest of your weekend.
It is gorgeous...mom had one. I can't remember just how she did it...but know she stored it in the basement where it didn't receive much light for a part of each year. It was to make it bloom at Christmas.

My motto would be, "finders keepers, losers weeepers." :) It's too pretty to give back. If you tend to it, you have officially adopted it.
