Apparently a good year for the Christmas Cactus!  Love when it puts on a show this time of year.

I've found the flowering of Christmas cactus is completely dependent on temperature.
I have a few, the one at home in the cool kitchen is putting on buds right now, the one at work in the always warm building- nothing.

I've never had a good flush of flowers on mine, gave all but one away because if it. Wish I had known this!

If it's blooming now, maybe it's a Thanksgiving Cactus?

Phil!  You nailed it!  Learn something new at Permies every day, I telllya!   I had never heard of a Thanksgiving cactus - thought I just had a precocious Christmas cactus!  

That makes a lot more sense now, thanks for the plant ID. I suppose I need to figure out how to edit the title of my post now...
