Congratulations on getting the African quilt done! It looks fabulous and I can't wait to see the glamor shot.
On the local news the other day they did a story about a fellow who had a Christmas cactus plant that was 71 years old! He remembers when his mother got is when he was 5. After she died he took it home and now cares for it. It was pink and full of flowers. Who knew one could live that long!
what do you have your cactus in the cup in - water and what? I can't tell from the photo. I have my pieces that fell off the mother plant laying in dirt - it is the kind with the trailing roots so I hope they will root into the soil I have been keeping it damp but not wet. I got my wall hanging binding finished last night after I had already scheduled my post
My cacti (fuchsia, champaign, white and red) have all bloomed. They started around Thanksgiving. I saw on TV (I know I shouldn't believe everything I see on TV) that there is such a thing as Thanksgiving Cacti. If that's the case, then all of mine are definitely Thanksgiving plants! They were loaded with flowers. Quite pretty. ~Mindy
Happy you finished your African quilt. I too am anxious to see it up on your design wall. All folded so neatly, it's like one of your cactus buds ready to full out blossom. Your Christmas decor is perfect... I was only going to put out a few things, but once I got into my decorations I couldn't stop. (^._.^)
Oh-- lovely job finishing up on that binding--it's always rewarding for me to do that... My two little cacti are in bloom--one is white with pink tips and the other is a deep shocking pinky color--so festive...;))) Your Mama one is such a lovely pale pink color..
I plan to Summer mine on our back deck and hope for a lot of growth this coming year...{Summer does seem far away in all this iced over landscape ;((( } Hugs, Julierose

Looking forward to the beauty shots, Wanda. Congrats on another completed quilt!!
ReplyDeleteI'm also curious about the cactus in the cup. Is that how you restart another plant?
