Christmas Cactus Cascade

I moved this Christmas Cactus plant onto the kitchen table while I tidied my study, and three days later it burst into flower.
As you may know, moving a Christmas Cactus in flower causes the flowers to drop off, so I have had to leave it in this rather inconvenient place!
But it's such an exuberant cascade of flowers I really don't mind. And it complements the orchids on the windowsill behind.
Meanwhile, on the sitting room windowsill, a small cutting which has been slowly growing for two years, has started to show beautiful white flowers.
 There are two pink and one red to come, all still in place in the study. I love these extravagant flowers at the time when the garden outside is fading and wintery.
