Hidden bloom

3 May 2018: I have had this Christmas cactus for years. I don't think it's ever had more than a tiny bloom. For most of those years, it was on the dresser in the guest room. A couple of months ago I moved it closer to the window. It wasn't to make it bloom--I just needed some room and figured it was the plant Veronica was least likely to mess with. But I suppose that did the trick. Today, I lifted it up to water it and found this huge bloom. It was just waiting there, in all its beauty, and no one could see it, but it didn't care. It just did its thing and waited for someone to find it and be delighted. Yes, yes...there's a metaphor there.
