In Full Bloom

I have two Christmas Cactus(es) (I suppose I should say cacti, but for some reason it sounds wrong). They are both plants that I grew from starts (I don't know the right term, but I clipped a piece off an adult plant, grew roots and then planted it). They both have sentimental value to me.


The one on the left is almost eleven years old while the one on the right is only seven years old. In all that time, they have only blossomed twice and with only 2-3 small blossoms per plant. Right before Christmas (maybe this is why they have their name???) they both grew 10-12 blossoms and have bloomed in full splendor! During this dreary, gray, inversion-weary time of year look what I get to see every day!!
