This was my mother's Christmas cactus. She kept it alive from December 1943 (when her grandmother gave it to her on her wedding day) until she died in 2006. Like my siblings, I had a clone of it, from "slips" she gave us over the years. But, when she died, I also inherited her own plant, the one my great-grandmother had given her seventy-six years ago. And it still blooms every Christmas. Or, as my mother used to say, every year on her wedding anniversary. Right on time again this year.
