Mom's Flowering Cactus

[Janet]

I finally found a picture online to tell me what it is.... it's a Flowering Christmas Cactus.

This was at my mother's house and I brought it home. It didn't look very good at all and so I purchased some soil for cactus and put in a food stick and it's looking wonderful. I don't remember seeing it bloomed at Mom's. I have her African Violets too. She had two and after going downhill, they too are coming out of it. I hope they will bloom also. There was a philadendren (sp) that she has kept alive since my father's funeral in 1973...I have it and it's doing much better. I think they got extremely lonely in the house by themselves until I brought them home, repotted and fed them.
