Thankfulness 12
My Christmas cactus is confused and has been blooming steadily since Halloween. It is amazing and beautiful. A nice sight in the window as I looked out the the ice pelletws and snow falling outside!
I have several blooming right now. There is some sort of explanation: They bloom after a period of dryness and low light. Mine have always set buds again, if we went on a winter vacation, because the curtains were drawn and no water was given.
We were gone for a week in October, so my three different color "Christmas Cactus" are all glorious.
The flowers will be gone by Thanksgiving, darn it.
We have one of those, too...it's been neglected lately, though.
ReplyDeleteIt is gorgeous!

Beautiful! You may remember mine started blooming early, too.
