The Christmas Cactus unsurprisingly blooms at Christmas and also sometimes around Easter time if cared for properly. A month prior to Christmas you will be able to watch the tips of the leaves beginning to grow. The tips grow darker as each day passes, until a bud forms. At Christmas time, as if by magic, the buds open to a beautiful flower that will add color and warmth to any holiday season.

Judging from this photo The Frau's Christmas cacti is getting ready to bloom - probably just before Memorial Day. Lovingly cared-for it is seriously off schedule. It apparently doesn't read the calendar.
