Christmas Cactus??

I still haven't figured out why it's called a "Christmas Cactus", it's finished blooming before Christmas and it's not really a cactus at all. Who knows??


I love my plants and I can't wait til I have flower beds again, but I have a lot of indoor plants. With the threat of a frost last week, I brought them all back inside after a nice spring and summer they had to soak up the sunshine. This is one of my favorites, because it always blooms shortly after it's time to bring it in, so I get to watch it bloom more closely. As you can see, it's just starting to really come on and there are three different colors in this one pot (I put three small plants in it about 5 years ago).
