My Christmas cactus needs to be renamed to Thanksgiving cactus - because in the seven years I've had it, it has never bloomed for Christmas. Its buds start forming in October and I keep it outside as long as possible to keep it cool and slow the blossoms. By the middle of November, it has a few blossoms and it normally peaks just in time for Thanksgiving Day. This weekend I think its reached its maximum profusion of blossoms. Now the trick is to figure out how to make them last through the week so family can comment "How gorgeous!", and "What a beautiful cactus in bloom!", or "That Christmas cactus is so pretty!"- just like they do every year at Thanksgiving!
