My red and white Thanksgiving cactus is in full bloom right now, and the Christmas cactus is budding up and some buds may bloom in a day or so.

Sounds beautiful. Love to see pics, if you can post some.
I wish I could. I had to get a new computer, and I haven't yet figured out how to take pictures with my phone and get them to the computer. I used to email them to myself, but now I can't access email on my phone. The story goes on, but I'm sure you will understand. Technology has gotten the better of me.
No worries

I use a USB cable to transfer pics from my phone to my PC. Maybe that might work for you too. Here's a link with more info, if you want to check it out. Import photos and videos from an Android phone to PC

Thanks.
My Easter cactus just started blooming, about the same time it did last year. If all the buds open up, it’s going to be gorgeous!

I’m in Florida and leave all of mine outside year round, unless temps drop into the 30s. They are on a bench, pretty much full sun all day. They bloom at Christmas every year. I did find an Easter cactus at Walmart this year, first time I’ve had one.
Wow that color is gorgeous!!

Right before Christmas I picked up a few more flowering cactus plants. The garden center had some different colors and I wanted one other than the standard fuchsia I had. I was feeling a bit nostalgic and these were so popular when I was a kid and getting different colors was the thing to do. I picked up a white one and she also had a pot with three different colors in it. They were all blooming when I picked them up. I think they are confused as they are starting to bloom again!
Nice

! I only have the regular fuschia colors. Both are getting ready to bloom again; this is the third time for both of them since November. At work, they always bloomed three times, but when I brought them home, it took them a while to get adjusted to the light in the Shed. I kept them out on the Deck last summer and that seemed to help.

I see that last year my Easter cactus started blooming at the end of May. This year, it’s a bit earlier, just saw the first blooms.
Oooh! My Easter cactuses are blooming right now but not even close to that prolifically! Very nice.
I just bought some real Christmas cactus clippings on eBay, and am trying to root them now. If they make it I'll get a picture once they're potted.

Almost all the buds are open now.
Here’s a better picture, we FINALLY got a little sun today.
