Very late Christmas cactus flower

Post by MHS »

By some miracle my Christmas cactus has produced a flower incredibly late. It produced a show of blooms around Febuary but it looks like its not finished yet.

A lovely flower. For some reason mine also threw out an extra single solitary flower a couple of weeks ago, no idea why it should but it was very welcome!

Some of mine have thrown the odd flower recently. Must be the sunny weather this year?
