Not really a gardener, but have been looking after this 'Christmas Cactus' for over 20 years.
In every one of those years it has flowered once a year between November and December.
This year it has flowered again in April?

Is it cold there ;)
Has been in the same position by the front door for many years, would say it hasn't been that cold this year?
Although usually by now we've had a few hot ones which hasn't really happened so far.
Those extra April flowers dropped off after a few weeks, so was just hoping it would flower again at it's usual time in November.
Within days new buds appeared and now I've got this

No idea why it's suddenly gone flower mad after years of being predictable, but I like it :)
That looks really nice Lee :thumbsup
Did it's usual November flowering despite the two extra flowerings this year :)

It's still looking good Lee. I never noticed the plant pot before today, that's a fun pot :)
Our poinsettia from last year has started to realise it's Christmas, unlike the last one that spanned 2 years which didn't go red until around February...I think

Have had poinsettia's in the past, given to us at Christmas but have never managed to keep them alive for a year?
Pot made by my Mother-in-law many years ago, used to be into her crafts.
Sadly died 2 years ago so it does act as a good reminder of better times, was a lovely lady.
