This one was actually a "Christmas" cactus this year. Most of my other plants have buds now and a flower or two open. They bloom at different times each year. I guess it has something to do with the amount of light maybe. They are generally in the same location, so who knows.
I live in south Louisiana in the winter and east TN in the summer. My daughter is married and living 600 miles away. I am also "Mom" to 3 dogs: a yellow Lab, Ellie Mae (RIP Nov. 6, 2012); a black miniature Schnauzer, Sophie (who has gone almost blind from diabetic cataracts)(RIP Nov., 2016) and (the new kid on the block) a Yorkie, Zippy.
