Gift of Christmas Cactus Keeps on Giving

In the midst of the busy Christmas season, at a luncheon for special girlfriends, I received a gift----a Christmas cactus.



Numerous buds gave promise of spectacular blooms to come. 


They did not disappoint. 





On Christmas morning, several of the buds had blossomed into breathtakingly beautiful blossoms.


A rich, sumptuous deep pink color, they just about lit up the kitchen.




When the sun poured through the window right onto and through them, there was only one thing to do --- run for the camera.  


Sharing their  loveliness with my blog peeps was important. 




Hope you enjoy them!



DO YOU HAVE A CHRISTMAS CACTUS? IF YES, WHAT COLOR IS IT?

  4. Hi Susan

    Christmas blessings to you during this wonderful season!

    Love your beautiful cactus. I have several and most are the bright fuscia, but I have one that is the palest of pinks.

    It's snowing here. Hope that you are somewhere warm and cozy.
