So pretty.

 

Each year I wonder if this lovely cactus will flower, and each year she suddenly bursts forth with a swathe of pinkness.
She sits in this window all year round, never being moved as she would probably object.
She is pampered with a feed every now and then, and a quick wipe down of her leaves.


Hopefully she will continue to flower for many weeks now.

So pretty.

I'm just not good with any house plants and admire anyone who can grow them. Your cactus is beautiful :)

Your Cactus is amazing! I don't think I've ever seen one as full of blooms!

Mine has amazed me this year as it blooms for the first time. I hope mine flourishes like yours.

What a lovely colour of cactus. I don't have much luck with cacti.

God bless.

So pretty! My last cactus could never make up its mind whether it was a Christmas Cactus or otherwise; it flowered twice a year! I had it for several years, through 3 house moves and being moved from one window to another . . .it seemed to thrive on neglect, with just an occasional watering. Then my dog knocked it off a windowsill, the pot smashed and it didn't survive the re-potting. I haven't had another - maybe I will treat myself to a new one this year. (I don't expect to move house again or to have another dog.)

That is so lovely! I'm sure it brings many smiles. (I do not have a green thumb, so I am quite impressed!)

My parents had a very big one that had so many flowers at this time of the year, my father was very proud of it!

It's always so wonderful to have a blooming cactus! They are particular, indeed about the light and the spot that they occupy. Enjoy those gorgeous blooms!

Little patches of colour

  Despite the drought and the effect it has had on gardens, there is still some colour around. I have a dry brownish lawn but in the flower ...
