Wow Maggie that is 1 beautiful christmas cactus. How long have you had it? I have one that is about 5 or 6 years old and it didn't bloom last year but it now has buds all over it and should start opening up soon.
 
Mine does not have any blooms on it yet but hopefully it will.
Thanks for sharing
 
WOW that is wonderful, I had to leave all mine...but did find three tiny plants at a plant sale a few weeks ago ...I hope I get atleast one bloom this year
 
Beautiful!
I have several and they have buds so it won't be too long before I get to see those flowers.
 
Mine just quit blooming..............it was a "little" early.

Yours is a beauty Maggie
 
Thanks and this is the 4th year. My yellow and peach ones are full of buds. They had a few to open and then just fall off. Hopefully the new buds will go ahead and bloom like they're suppose to
 
Maggie, what a nice looking plant and some really great blooms, all of my older ones bloomed early this year a few of the 1/2 yr old are just now setting buds with any luck I might get a few blooms

Thanks for sharing the pictures

OMG, that is gorgeous Maggie. Is there any special plant food you use for it? My plant seems to be stunted.....yes, I said stunted..it's certainly not stunning!!

Nothing special, I fertilize a couple of times in the summer after I put them out on the porch. I leave them outside until the temps. get down in the 30's ( but before freezing) before I bring it in for the winter. It had already started to bud when I brought them in this year. That maybe why I lost some of the bud.

Just beautifuk plants....I have never seen the white so full and huge...thanks you two for posting th epictres
 
garden bear that is such a beautiful white christmas catus. I also haven't seen a white one before.
 
I'm with Maggie on the care of them. I put mine in the shade house in the summer and they stay there until the frist frost, with all the rain we had this summer they did very well in fact all but my yellow bloomed early this year.
 
Maggie it sure is!!!!!!! Wow isnt it beautiful!
Did you no you didn't.
I leave mine out until a really cold chill hits it then I bring it in and buds form.. Oh my! I cant find it I know I brought it in *LOL
