My Christmas cacti have been blooming for a few weeks now. Long ago they all became more likely to bloom for Thanksgiving than Christmas. And two or three (I have four) bloom in the summer as well.
This one puts on the biggest show by far. For some reason it only has blooms on one side this time, but it looks like more buds are forming on the other side. Maybe I needed to rotate it more.

And this white variety is fairly young but so pretty when it blooms..jpg)
We had to cancel our planned trip to Arizona to spend Thanksgiving with Mike and Lindy as I still don't feel strong enough for that long of a trip. But we will drive a couple hours to Springfield, MO tomorrow to spend the day at the home of our youngest granddaughter, Caitlin, and her husband, Luke. Son Mark and his wife, Stephanie will be there as well and perhaps granddaughter, Ashley, and her sons Jeramiah and Maison.
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday and it's all about being thankful for family and our many blessings. Wishing the same to those who celebrate the day.
