Christmas Cactus

In the posts about the freezing temps someone, I think Donna, mentioned her Christmas Cactus was blooming. My Mom has several on the enclosed front porch of her house. It is on the East side of the house and gets lots of morning light and the space is not heated. Her Christmas cacti (plural of cactus?) have been blooming since before Thanksgiving. I was at her house in Colorado Springs yesterday and this is a photo of her biggest plant:

My mom had a hug plant when I was a kid. I can't remember what happened to it. They are really pretty when they are in bloom.

Mine is deep pink, I'll try to get a picture. I was just remembering that in years past it blooms in February. Thought it could be a harbinger of a long winter to come. Probably just me and my poor plant care.
