Christmas in March...

This is our Christmas cactus right now...


...happily budding and blooming in the living room window.


This was it on Dec. 22nd, just before Christmas.


It was also budding and blooming back then.


That got me to wondering if I had a Christmas cactus...


...or an Easter cactus.


It's now sitting in a western exposure window, whereas at Christmastime, it was in the southern exposure dining room window (it had to be moved because the dining room window, with it's screen feeder, became Baby's bird viewing area).


So I decided to do a little on-line research...


... and I was correct. I definitely have a Christmas cactus.


Why it has started blooming again is beyond me, but I'm thrilled because it is so beautiful.

Here is an excellent article showing side-by-side photos and outlining the differences between a Christmas cactus and an Easter cactus, just in case any of you might have the same question.
I'm linking up to Show & Tell Friday at Cindy's My Romantic Home. Be sure to pop over to see what everyone is sharing this week!
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
