Ok I get pictures downloaded finially.
First I now have 3 cuttings with buds on them, two name and one unnamed. Here is NeonSmale
Update on buds, fruit, benches, and things
Here is the second, very tiny bud
And here is the third one.
Here is the Easter cactus blooms
here is a update picture of the fruit on one of my Christmas cactus, I have at least 2 and probable more.
A question was asked a wall back, about rotting on cuttings. Here is one I found that the original cutting rotted but the new growth, which came up from under grown.
Sorry the picture is blurred , shaky hand day.
And last here is a picture of part of the new bench. 3 down and 3 more to build

Every one start looking for buds. Just came in from watering the epis and I found another bud. That is a total of 5 buds on four plants. There is also another possible bud on a 5th plant but it is to early to tell for sure.

Wow and here I thought they took years to blooms from cuttings... are these new cuttings from this fall/winter?
They are from last summer. I was surprised also. The flowers will be undersized but hi after all the cold weather I will take what I get.
One bud fell off the Neon smile but I expected that. The cutting is to small for 1 much less 2.
I have a question-as the 4 with buds are all large cuttings from last year should I leave the buds on or take them off. I have never had any this young try to bloom. I was reading over on the Epiforum and even they could not agree.
I don't know but I would leave them on just so I could see them bloom LOL!
A few might fall off by themselves and maybe you would at least get to see one bloom.
I would like to but some on the epiforum said that they had the cuttings die. Oh well I think I will just chance it and wait. They are only four plants out of over 200.
