It never blooms at Christmas. But it's not far off this time. So this year I'm calling it a Groundhog day cactus. It's had blossoms for quite a while and, just the other day, I realized the blossoms were opening.
Our Groundhog Day cactus. Just below it is a jade plant.
This week I'm planning a trip over to the vet's office. I ordered some dental chews for Tasha and she needs a refill of her flea and tick medicine. And I noticed that today is our first (maybe second) three minute day. Meaning that we gain three full minutes of daylight. Yay! On the other hand, we're socked in by fog.
Your Christmas cactus is amazing. It turns out we have a Thanksgiving cactus (sharper, serrated leaves). We got three flowers the first time around (after Christmas) while it dropped another 2 buds, and now have several buds again. Here’s hoping.
ReplyDeleteLast year my Christmas cactus went into full bloom in March!
ReplyDeleteI got a start of a Christmas catus like yours this year. I'm hoping to keep it alive. Three minutes more!
ReplyDeleteImagine... one day, in the near future, we'll have colors and blossoms outside, again :)
ReplyDeletewhat happens if it sees its shadow?
