The funny thing is... that when I uploaded these pictures today, I noticed in my album that I had taken pictures of them in bloom the exact day last year - how weird is that?!? They were a little bit further along last year, but it's amazing how on time they are!

First time for this small one to bloom ever - I didn't know what color it would be and am thrilled that it's a yellow! Will hopefully take another pic when it is fully open - wanted to catch it today in case the flower falls off, as it often likes to do...


This is my oldie but goodie -
I've had it about 8 years now and it blooms at least twice a year.

I think they are both actually Thanksgiving cacti, Jamie - that's when the pink one has always bloomed.

Lynne, I have one that blooms that yellowish with pink undertones, too. I call it Rita's Yellow, because a woman named Rita gave me the segments I started it from. Nice to see it here!

may God bless the WHOLE world!

I have a xmas cactus that is blooming for the second time this season. Congrats on the yellow, I've been looking for a yellow myself...

My memory's not as sharp as it used to be. Also, my memory's not as sharp as it used to be.

they're randomly called thanksgiving cactus, christmas cactus and easter cactus because they happen to bloom around those holidays.

i was given quite a few by friends who were moving and couldn't transport them (they were driving across country). they weren't in good shape and i managed to get them all back to good health (and blooming). then i lost them all due to lack of care when i was working way too much. which is pretty bad, since we're talking about succulents here!!

i've never seen a yellow flower - just the pink and red. one of the plants she gave me tho, had a purple tinge to the leaves (red flowers). it was really beautiful! i miss that one the most (it's the only one i've ever seen with that purple tinge).

okay. thanks for the clarification!

hmmm...from what that site says, what i've always had are the thanksgiving cactus (no points on the leaves)...they always bloomed at christmas and later but not earlier than mid-december, tho.

my friend gave me some of what that site says are christmas cactus (points on the leaves). they bloomed from november on tho.

weird!!

the easter rose looks lovely!!! i'll have to look around and see if i can find one of them!!
