My wife's Christmas Cactus is near full bloom. It is probably the greatest number of blooms over many years ever. Attached are three photos of the blooms.

What's her secret? I'm lucky to keep ours alive, let alone have it bloom.

I love the Christmas Cactus (blooms).

Mine don't keep their blooms long enough, but I love them just the same.

Beautiful. What you have is a Thanksgiving Cactus. The Christmas Cactus doesn't have the points on the edges, it is smoother. There is also another like it that is an Easter Cactus, that has more scalloped edges.

Nice set of images of the blooms. I've developed a way for my Christmas cactus to bloom all year long instead of just before Christmas. I took pictures of the blooms like yours and printed them out as close as possible to life size. I then cut the bloom out of each picture and used a little piece of tape to put it back on the Christmas cactus. From 5 ft away, it looked real and I kept it on my desk near a window. Got a lot of questions and compliments.
