Answer
They usually bloom from mid-Spring to mid-Summer. Some varieties only bloom at night or for a few hours
Christmas cactus will do best in bright indirect light, similar to that required by African violets. Long term direct sunlight can burn the leaves and stunt growth. If taken care of properly, a single plant can live decades

The nightblooming cereus is also referred to as Princess of the Night, Honolulu Queen (for Hylocereus undatus, commonly grown in Hawaii), Queen of the Night, or Reina de la Noche.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nightblooming_cereus
the smallest cactus species in the world, with a mature size of around 10-12 mm diameter. The flowers are pink, 6-15 mm long and 5-7 mm diameter.

Blooming Echinopsis oxygona. The sweet-smelling flower opens towards evening and dies the following morning.[

Where are the best places to live in, in new york? not too pricey and close to Manhattan and central ny?
Paige
Im hoping to move to new york in the next few years, im a british female just coming into my 20's, i'll be sharing with my best friend. of course i would LOVE to be able to buy an apartment in Manhattan but its really pricey, could u guys give me any advice on nice places close to Manhattan and central new york? not too expensive either, it has to have 2 bedrooms and at least 1 bathroom.
Answer
Virtually nothing in Manhattan is what you would consider "affordable". It's the most expensive place to live in the entire country. Even living with 1 or 2 roommates, expect to pay $1500 a person. If you want a nicer place in a better location, dig deeper into those pockets. You'll have to spend much much more to live in a place that feels like home and convenient.
I would recommend going to Craigslist and seeing for yourself. Go to http://nyc.craigslist.org/i/apartments. If you want affordable, focus on the boroughs, i.e., Bronx and Queens. As long as you avoid the ghetto parts of them, it's significantly better.
You can learn more about the parts of NYC here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borough_(New_York_City)
It's not uncommon for people to have an hour plus long commute by public transportation just so they have the luxury of living in a place they can afford to live in.
Owning property in NYC is pretty much reserved for the wealthy. If you make $100,000 USD (65,000 pounds) you get to live a normal and average life. You still don't own a place even at that. In other parts of our country you can easily own property and in less populated areas be considered wealthy.
There is so much to love about NYC but you have to be prepared to make sacrifices.
To stay in Manhattan if you were to look at it on a map, at the very top (it's 12 miles tall) it's more affordable, but very ghetto.
