Christmas Cactus

Several years ago Heather gave me a start to a Christmas Cactus from Grandma Bee. It has grown quite a bit over the last 3 years from the 4 leaves it started with. I am very proud of my plant. Before this winter it has only ever had 1 flower before, so we were really excited to get home from Christmas break and find the plant full of buds (If you look really closely you might be able to see some of the tiny pink buds). I thought all of these 40 or so buds would become flowers, but it turned out that most of them just fell off onto the floor, but we did get about 8 -12 flowers. It was beautiful to me.
