A little autumn color

My Haemanthus albiflos is blooming. It is a confused plant. It doesn't really know when to bloom. I remember that it was blooming around my birthday one year. It blooms when it wants to. It knows best.

It's got white petals (or are they bracts?) with a bunch of bright yellow stamens poking out. I gave it a bigger pot this year and I think it appreciated that. It's putting on its best show ever.

Maybe it's a Thanksgiving or Birthday Haemanthus albiflos. Like my Christmas cactus that is blooming now...
