Today is Feb. 11th. Tell it to my Christmas Cactus
that only recently has decided to bloom. Actually, this used to be a
Thanksgiving Cactus, blooming on time for years in late November. A couple of
times it has bloomed at Christmas time, but I guess now it is a Valentine’s Day
Cactus. Oh well, fine with me.
Speaking of Christmas, there is this Poinsettia—last year’s plant--that made it through the summer, fall, winter, spring, and now another winter. This is the only “red” it has produced, but I’m grateful for its effort. Not only that, but she is still alive, which is a feat all its own.
Finally,
these are the plants that have made me happy throughout the dreary winter, and
too-numerous Covid months. I just love their whimsical growing habit and those
adorable little flowers.
