The Christmas Cactus predicts six more weeks of…Christmas?

February Christmas Cactusfrom Chris

Each year, the Christmas cactus in our office bursts into bloom in late November, serving as a sure sign that the holiday is on its way.

But last week, we noticed that the cactus seems to be ready to burst into bloom again!

Does that mean it has opted to skip February-October and just jump right to November again? Or perhaps, because it’s been about six weeks since Christmas, the cactus is just acknowledging six more weeks of Christmas?

We’ve decided to blame it on the wacky weather we’ve had so far this winter. We’ve enjoyed mild temperatures overall, and with the exception of a single big storm, we’ve not had much snow to speak of. (And even then, temps soared into the 60s the days after the storm, melting away the snow pretty quickly.) On Groundhog’s Day, Punxatawney Phil predicted an early spring, so let’s hope he’s right.
