I'm almost late; but this is the week I step up the feeding of my big ol' Christmas cacti, which are around 35 years old, and have produced many other potfuls. Here's one from last year:

Thank you for the reminder to check on my Christmas cactus. It’s in the basement in a dark spot. I was preparing to discard it in the Spring, but once I put it outside near the discarded plants, it suddenly sprang to life and begged me for another chance! So I’ve been trying to care for it better this year. Last I looked at it (about a week ago) I could see the very beginning of buds for blossoms on a couple of “arms”.

Gorgeous! My 'Miss Peach' is completely budded out. I talk to her every day and ask that she bloom on time for Thanksgiving when all of my family will be here. She says, 'We'll see!' She got a 'kick in the pants' today when I watered. Here she is when in all her bloomin' glory. She's at least 15 years old, now.
