The After Christmas Christmas Cactus?

For anyone who has tried to grow a Christmas Cactus, much less getting it to bloom, good luck.

I inherited this as one of many plants when John's folks relocated to Florida. It was three small sprigs or branches when I got it and has steadily grown, but never flowered (sort of like me.) It made the road trip from Dallas to Chicago and grew some more, but still no flowers.

Well a few days after Christmas this past year, I saw a few blossoms and what do you know....flowers!

I have been told in order to promote the flowering process one must use the "Flowers in the Attic" method: hide it in the dark and don't feed it. Who knew?
