31/365 Christmas in April

SightSalad is a month old! Thirty-one posts in, 334 to go!

This is a Christmas Cactus that is probably as old as I am. Right now it lives in our living room near the south windows, and it's thriving. As you can guess from the name, it normally blooms at Christmas -- but it's loving the sunshine, so it's still blooming mid-April. When the Christmas tree is up, the cactus gets moved to the foyer to greet holiday visitors with its friendly pink flowers that, oddly enough, don't look Christmasy at all, but are welcoming just the same. Beautiful!

Camera: Canon Rebel DSLR 1/60s, f/4.5, ISO 1600 in natural light.
