That is soo strange! We had a similar experience with ours. My mom had this huge rambling Christmas cactus that had not bloomed in years, my dad and I wanted to throw it out. My mom would not hear of it and insisted we keep it. The year after my dad passed it had the most beautiful blooms on it and it had bloomed twice every year since! It will be 14 years this Christmas.
