Today, I am beyond thrilled.
Christmas cactus must have known this was the month for her to shine.
She started sprouting fat buds that burst into gorgeous deep pink blooms.
Honestly, every time I go into the kitchen and see her on the counter, it makes me sooooo happy.
This is a truly magnificent pre-Christmas present.
Thank you, Christmas cactus.
You are a prize!
DO YOU HAVE A CHRISTMAS CACTUS? IF YES, WHAT COLOR AND DOES IT BLOOM IN DECEMBER?
Hi Susan! That plant really IS beautiful! Can you believe I've never heard of a Christmas cactus?! I've had pretty red amaryllis plants, but I think the cactus is much prettier!

Beautiful ! And yes, I have a very old Christmas cactus in full bloom right now too. She is a bit lighter, but still vibrant pink.

ReplyDeleteSusan,
ReplyDeleteShe is beautiful! Coincidentally enough, a dear friend was in the area yesterday and I picked up a gorgeous Christmas cactus for her! I love them and what a treat to have her bloom right on time!

She's a beauty! I don't have a Christmas cactus but just might have to get one! Such pretty blooms just when we need them.

I have tons of cacti on my side yard but none in the house. I do not have a Christmas cactus. I had one a couple years ago but I have no green thumb and it died on me. Perhaps I watered it too much..ha.
ReplyDeleteI love it!!!! Even better than Pointsetta!!
ReplyDeleteHow long have you had the cactus - and it is just beautiful - love the color and glad it brings you joy!
ReplyDeleteI got one in the Garden I have had for years but it tends to bloom earlier before Christmas.. just recently and I actually think mine in the same color.. w/love janice
