Christmas cactus flowering in the kitchen. These are a beautiful pale pink. I have some other ones that are red and dark pink.
How do they know when to flower? They always seem to come out around this time of year. As soon as the buds start to grow I start watering them and they soon grow and burst into flower. They are a lovely sight in the middle of winter.
Lovely, indeed! My mother always had a house full of blooming Christmas cacti, and I smile with every reminder. 🙂

Yes, most of mine come from cuttings off a plant my grandmother had, and she passed away over twenty years ago!

What a lovely colour! Mine is in flower too, but has the more regular pinkish orange colour.
