    Saw buds on these last Monday, they were tiny so I figured it would be a while longer before they actually bloomed. I totally missed one bloom but thankfully I did look up and see these today....before I missed them too.
    Looked back at my photo folders and found that these bloomed on exactly the same dates last year too.

    I guess I have Ground Hog Day cactus now.

    I miss my cactus :'( When I changed jobs I decided to leave that big beautiful cactus right where he was because I was unsure what the new office would be like. I miss him but am glad I left him. This office lacks the good, southern windows :( Yours are pretty. I'm always amazed when they rebloom :-D

    Those are lovely cacti even if their calendar is a bit off!

    Maybe it's a cross between a Christmas and Easter cactus? :D
