| My plant room |
Last year, you may recall my story of buying some sad, decrepit, left-outside-to-die-in-the-cold Christmas cactus at Lowe’s. I’d always wanted Christmas cactus; my dad grew huge ones, and brought them into the living room to place them before the hearth when they were in full bloom each December. I had no idea how to grow them. I just knew I wanted to try.
Those sad, shriveled up, halfway dead Christmas cacti not only made a comeback…they bloomed! Here are pictures of my two beauties, a hot pink one and a peach tinted white that’s just stunning. They grace my plant room in the back of the house and I love nothing better than to sit in my comfortable chair, gazing at them with the woods and vegetable garden as the backdrop.
What a nice, garden-y way to start the Christmas season!
Yes indeed a wonderful display of color at the beginning of the season.
Happy Thanksgiving.
It is simply beautiful! I love it! They are so cheery and welcoming just in time for Christmas. Good job bringing it back too.
Thanks Keewee! Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
And thank you Tina….my Christmas cactus are like pets now, I enjoy them so much. I appreciate it and it is so nice to hear from you.
