Christmas Cactus



Christmas cacti hold a special place in my heart 
because they are the only indoor plant that flowers 
that doesn't get bugs almost immediately. 
Therefore I always try to have a couple on hand. 
They usually surprise and delight me by blooming 
at non- Christmas times like Thanksgiving and St. Patty's day.
One thing that's a little tricky though is guessing what color they are when they are still in the budding state. 
I have to admit I thought these would be white. 
On the plus side, they bloomed so rigorously that Edward came running into the bedroom to tell me about it.  




So of course I had to photograph them. :-)




Enjoy!
