My daughter-in-law came over yesterday morning and helped me empty all of my pots and clean up the garden spaces. She did the heavy work, I did some light work. Last night I sewed some more stratas for the 4" finished 16 patch blocks. I had the idea yesterday of adding in some 8" blocks too. I will probably play with the idea on the design wall next week.
My cactus plants don't have a lot of blooms at one time so I was happy to have 3 at once.
I'm hoping for constant blooming all winter with all of my plants. I think I still have over 20 of them but a couple of them aren't looking so good. I think I need to re-pot some of them in new nutrient rich soil.
They are beautiful Wanda. Stan and I were out yesterday cutting back our Clematis against the southern side of the house, which is really huge. It's about 19 years old and a very prolific bloomer all season long. My kind of plant!
I really love that pink flower. Brought my geraniums into the house in a brown paper sack and put them in our basement till spring. I have one big one yet to do and I hope it come through like the others, it’s a different kind of geranium.
My Christmas Cactus never bloom until the end of January, not sure if it's because I live in South Texas with warmer weather during the winter. I might take your idea of transplanting it into some good nutrient soil. Actually I really could make several plants out of my big one. I'm jealous of your blooms every year lol.

ReplyDeleteNice Saturday post Wanda. Always enjoy seeing your catus blossoms. They are so delicate and look like a dancing fairy.

I love the blues and greens you've chosen so far for your strata.
