About to Bloom

I've been waiting ages for my Christmas Cactus to bloom.  I had a few blooms before Thanksgiving and then nothing till now.

Now this might have something to do with the fact that I had to move this plant.  I've read it doesn't like going to a new location and takes awhile to adapt to that spot.
At first I thought there was only one bud, but you know that saying "The more you look, the more you see" ... well, it was true in this case and I discovered many more little buds.
I'll certainly be taking some macro shots of the blooms as they open.
 
I'm linking to Mosaic Monday.  I hope you have time to do a blog hop over there and see some other wonderful mosaic photos.

  3. I had heard the same thing, they did not like to be moved. But, I was given my mother-in-laws after she passed away this Christmas and it is now covered in buds, which does not fit the previous statement, go figure. It is the same colour as yours. Fantastic macro shots.

  7. It's good to know that others have moved their plants and they keep on blooming, perhaps mine is just a little confused this year.

  11. I have one it was covered in buds, every time my husband opened the window to put seed in the bird feeder he knocked off a few buds. So I moved it, not a bud on it.
    I like yours it is a beautiful colour
