Beautiful!! Mine is blooming but it sure doesn't get as big and expanding as much as yours. My blooms are pink but I really like your red blooms. Thanks for sharing-brightens my day.

That is worth showing off!! Mine hasn't bloomed in two years, and when it did, it was on Easter, not Christmas!

Mine has grown, but just popping buds. I had to move it from it's favorite window, but it was too big to keep there any longer.

One of my favorites. It just shouts Christmas..I haven't had one for a few years but I was able to get them to bloom each yr. Maybe that'll be my treat to myself. I don't have a green thumb but this year my little angel in heaven has been watching over us. He died right after Easter at age 6mos. A few days before that his mom had gotten me an Easter Lily, which normally blooms and dies back till the next yr. Well, it is still green and has bloomed several times this year. My daughter's best friend had gotten her an orchid, one of my favorites too, and even though it has been really ignored and actually forgotten about, I went to move a table the other day and saw it there, its still alive with green leaves. It hasn't been watered in months and normally if you don't cut the stems off when the flowers drop off it'll kill the plant. Dead stems still on there and the plant is going strong. Now its time to get it blooming again. Happy holidays to everyone.

I get mine to bloom at Christmas by sitting them outside in the shade all summer and ignoring them. I bring them in just before frost, here that's around Halloween. By then they are usually full of blooms. Such a pretty plant.

Once upon a time I had a huge one that was really awesome, however, I repotted it, watered it well and left it outside to drain. When I went back to get it the squirrels had eaten roots and all.
