WOW Jimmy! Those are BEAUTIFUL!!!

I've never seen a white one for sale around here - lucky you!
And I have 1 small stem of the peach one that actually bloomed last year - it was nice seeing a different color for a change.

Are yours still outside? Do you have to bring them in for winter?

Wow all the blooms everyone has are beautiful, and Thanks Lynne for laying on the floor to get that wonderful shot of your flowers!!!!

I likes the pink shot.mine is close to blooming my white one.This was shot about a month ago.

Wow Jimmy I really Like the peach colored one,,!!!!!!!!
Njoynit Mine Doesn't grow AT all!! It just sits there Okay patients Patients I know!!!

They have been outside on my porch since last Feb. brought them in a couple weeks ago was supposed to get cold. It got down to low 40's lately been 70 and 80's so they are back outside. Wal-Mart sells them here has a bunch of colors. Glad you like them.

Diane - I think you've been at your job too long!

Patients?!?

LYNNE!! I'm still Laughing out loud Lynne!!!! Your are toooooo cute!!!!! I forgot you noticed those words that can put a spin on a sentence!!!!

Sorry, Diane - I just can't help myself when I notice things like that, and puns - for some reason I pick up on them all the time!

It's all in good fun, right?

Absolutely!!!!!!!

mine had at least one bloom on it until July or August, it must not know when x-mas is. It seemed to like the AC in here. I is finally bloomless and I am awaiting it's next show.

I wanted to wait until it bloomed to show mine--





Not sure if it a Christams or Thanksgiving cactus.. last year it bloomed around christmas-time, but it was inside all year. this year, It was outside for the summer, and just bloomed yesterday.

I think It is a cutting from my great-grandmothers, who passed away 7 years ago. I wonder what happened to the rest of it?

This is whats its starting to do now.I got my 1st bloom.they just sit around...........

Mark - very pretty flowers! Thanks for sharing!

Njoynit - those are some very healthy looking buds. Would love to see it in full bloom!

Beautiful Njoynit!!!

Its getting there...one day at a time.My other 2 the buds are still small and forming.Those 2 will proably be more along christmas bloom time.hopefully in a week will have a few more blooms opened.there is a slight pink streak on the flower,but had read that was common with the white flowers not being totally white.I bought them at the same time.was around this time or later.I believe my other 2 were pink& red.I think they we're late setting them out last year also.

here is 2 more shots....recent


you can see the pink more on this one.

WOWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!! Njoynit! I'm sooooo liking that one!!

OH Njoynit, when you want to trade give me a scream. I love the white. LOL!!!!!

me too...unless i can find one for sale around here...

My red has 2 open blooms now.




Here's more of the white.They are pretty much fully open now,not many buds left to bloom cause so many ARE in bloom.









My pink is further behind& when had it covered on porch I think the dogs did a 'slam-by' It kinda looks like my crown of thorns after the hurricane.I picked up the broke pieces and have in small pot as well as some white ones.Least IT was barely grazed durring the 'slam-by'.


Cinta..we'll see how these pieces root up.I have some I stuck in a hoya plant will have to check on too.I stuck them after a storm over the summer.I seen they we're alive the 2oth when moved stuff in to GH.3 of the white stems with buds bloomed,I thought that was kewl

I know DI ya love the red one too now.
I've also not seen any out this year yet down here.
bees love them.

Gorgeous! This is the first year my Christmas cactus bloomed. Will it bloom again? Or is that it for this year?
