Counting My Blessing #17: Holiday Cactus
one beginning to bloom at my houseI have written other times about the infamous Christmas Cactus that never seems to bloom at Christmas. I have had these plants bloom at Valentine's Day and also one at Easter. This year must be the year for Thanksgiving Cactus. When I was at my mother's house last week-end hers was also in bloom. It doesn't matter to me what time of year they bloom. Any season or holiday they are beautiful blooming plants. I am blessed to have one to enjoy on my table by the window (botanically known as Schlumbergera or Zygocactus).

the one at my Mom's house
I love these plants! They are rugged, yet elegant. My mother has to ginormous ones that are more than 20, maybe even 30 years old! That is amazing to me... Enjoy yours!
