Nice! I've never got one to even bud, let alone blossom. Maybe I should leave it outdoors for a while: the current one's on the bathroom winsodwill for lack of anywhere else to plut it indoors.

As with all Cacti I find the flowers absolutely stunning, the plant itself....meh.

Thanks Micky17! I wish I had a proper picture of it...this one just doesn't do it justice. I've lost/misplaced the camera...maybe I can get another, if I'm really nice to Santa Claus?
If you can manage to neglect it, Fran, it should blossom. I put mine outdoors and forgot it 'til I noticed the red buds!
Same here, Karen. The flowers on Schlumbergera just knock me out! and the dragon fruit too! I'm wondering if the tall euphorbia will blossom?

might be a bit late in the year to put mine out, and it's still only a baby. maybe next summer .. lol i'll show it your pic to give it the right idea!

I came home to find the epi upside down on my desk! Rufus decided he liked the spot and knocked it off the shelf so he could sleep in the sun! Now I have lots of "cuttings"... will start the little beauties and hope for the best ...and yes..next spring will be the time to get them outdoors. Hope it takes the hint! :-)

thanks dear. I should have some shelves up on the exterior walls by then - morning sun but shaded from wind.
