My mother's grandmother's cactus returns

My mother's grandmother's cactus returns
Every year at Christmas and around Easter, this year four weeks early, the cactus I inherited from my mother blooms. She used to joke that it bloomed on her wedding anniversary because it was a wedding present from her grandmother just a couple of days before Christmas, in 1943. Mom kept it alive until she herself died and I took the main plant after that. Many clones have come from it, but this flower is on that mother plant.

Given that we're going to be spending a lot of time at home during the next month, I'm glad to have to have some brightness with these fresh blooms.

Lovely portrait of this flower. The light seems just perfect for its delicate elegance. My mom have a "wedding cactus" too, though it produced a single starry bloom only once a year. Unfortunately we were not as good as your family at keeping this heirloom alive, so it's long gone. Now you are fully repaid for caring for yours!
