I have my late mother’s huge, rather sad-looking, very elderly Christmas cactus that normally flowers around her birthday in May. Some segments broke off some months ago. This is one of two small pots of those segments growing really well on my North facing study windowsill. #succulentsunday
Tho they're pretty much all called Christmas or holiday cactus now a days Mike, this is actually considered an Easter cactus, note the rounded scallops on the leaf segments. Which is probably why it typically blooms around May. But it's looking nice 🙂

I have one from my mother - they’re a lovely reminder

@lesliecole49 Thank you for the explanation. The “mother” plant (in more than one sense” flowers intermittently for two or three months! Mike
Glad to help. I don't do anything special to make mine bloom so they just do it as they feel inspired to. 🙂
