Christmas Blossoms


Nothing like the arrival of the Christmas Cactus flowers in December to brighten up those darkened skies. So there I was at the nursery, innocently looking for a tangerine tree when this brilliant red Christmas Cactus catches my eye. I admit, I've got quite a few but I couldn't resist getting just one more when I saw that delicious red color. It's already earned a spot in the house, at least for Christmas anyhow.

Christmas in November


Christmas Cactus. They are all blooming in a wonderful rainbow of colors. This one was a lovely shrimp-color when I bought it years ago. It turns out that the flowers in the sun are lighter and the ones in the shade, like this one, are darker.
