Christmas blooms in April. Yellow Christmas cactus.
"I've always thought my flowers had souls." ~ Myrtle Reed, Lavender and Old LaceMom brought this plant home over a year and a half ago, a yellow Christmas cactus. The unusual color with a tinge of peace at the base of each flower is nothing compared to the light that seems to glow from within. It bloomed a bit at Christmas but not with a spectacular number of blossoms. With the help of colder nights in the sunroom and increasing early morning sun from the east, it has been putting out buds and blooms for a month now... and I hope it continues until Easter. As always, that luminescent shine seems to pour forth from within the flower. It is so delicate and powerful at the same time. Where did she get this? At Sam's, along with her orchid... the one that bloomed for nine months straight, stopped for two months then started again and is still full of blooms four months later.

There are two type of blooming cacti...one blooms in December and one around Easter.
I've always heard the one blooming near Easter called The Easter Cactus.
Such a gorgeous picture!
This is amazing!! So, according to your older post, the sun is hitting it in just the right way? It actually looks like a light has been placed inside the flower!!
