I also wanted to share this very special Christmas Cactus most of which was from a little clipping of our Dad's that I took just after he passed away. That has been a very long time..over 17 yrs...at first I only had 1 bloom the first year, and one each year for at least 10 yrs...I have all those dried blooms in a dish...in the last couple years it's been blooming on one side or the other...(I did add another cactus to it to make it full about 5 yrs ago) this is the very first for this year...and it looks like it may bloom all over this time...what an awesome rememberance of our Dad...he loved plants!!!

Beautiful plant.....my is not blooming this year so you need to tell me what I need to do to help it....
oh! Don't you just love it when the cactus blooms? Mine did too! it always seems to know when the holidays come! Mine is special to me, too, because my brother sent it to me 25 years ago when I was pregnant with my daughter! (Wow, it's THAT old!) Your artwork is fun and festive and oh so wonderful!
Well, first I am honored to have this cactus for so long...I put it outside each Spring into Summer, then put it on a stand facing the west. Don't know if that makes any difference. I appreciate you visiting my blog...blessings for a great day!!
