It is impossible to capture just how dramatic this plant is. Now five days later than the original pictures below, the blossoms are open and even more amazing.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2PVG31ubiUxf13Locn0uCo8Dr1dt9kvMR7NNtuZIi2h5Kp8a4Xugj8HWQEncAw6q7DPUIkj3cx7rP7t5WIL8v20svSdVdtJUF_V7xCqQHWQs8apV0eqbBvfXdF7g-_bVATjgcw76tz1I/s320/20121116_christmas_cactus.jpg)

My neighbor was going to throw out this enormous Christmas cactus last spring. I said I would take it just to keep it from being destroyed.
As you can see, it is almost as wide as the buffet.
I have had it in the sunroom all summer and a couple of weeks ago it budded and now is blooming large pink blossoms.
We'll see if it lasts until Christmas but it is very beautiful and enjoyable now.
