More buds.........

The red Christmas Cactus isn't done!  I saw 2 more buds today and maybe a third one.  While I was watering all 10 of the plants I saw one of the white ones has 2 buds on it too.  I'm a happy camper!!
I finished the quilting on Sparkling Stars and now need to trim it and cut the binding.

Ah, I loved it when I had a Christmas cactus. But I always love seeing yours!

I almost emailed you yesterday. When I watered my Christmas cactus a week ago, I thought, 'oh, it's done for another year.' And this week it has buds!! Isn't it a fun surprise?

My white one is doing exactly the same thing so I think it is a St Patrick's cactus ! =]

you sure have good luck with those plants. My last house plants died last year and I'm not getting any more!

They must get the right light and the right moisture to keep blooming. I have had them bloom over Easter also. Chris

Same here. I only have one cactus and it has more blooms and buds than it had all season. (I guess it's not my green thumb, since everyone is experiencing these off season buds!) Have a great day!

My plant is blooming again, too. It's the cactus my mother got when I was about 15 years old, so, Wanda, you know how old my cactus is !!!!

It's like Christmas in March!!! Yeah.

Maria said...

WOW !!! you have had some many flowers on your Cactus. Very pretty.

The cactus must just love it there -- how fun to get St. Patrick's Day blooms!

Mine are blooming now again too...not as many blooms as there were at Christmas, but they are still pretty!

I was going to send you a picture today. One of mine has bloomed and one has buds! It's amazing.

Do you use a plant fertilizer on your indoor plants ? If so let us know what you use. (*._,*) You seem to have the most glorious blossoms.

Now that's what I call a nice surprise! I always love to see flowers at any time of the year, but this must be especially welcome for you since you're still in winter there.

Ours are just about done- there might still be a bud yet - we have had a good run of flowers these past few months. They sure brighten up our kitchen.
Hope you get a chance to play tomorrow.
Warmest regards,
