1. I have a Christmas cactus that is beginning to show signs it might bloom this year. Tiny buds! So exciting.

   1. Thank you Prem. Though referred to as Christmas cactus, they’re actually Schlumbergera.

8. Love them! Mine blooms a few times a year, but I don’t know why. Maybe it’s the location – it sits in a bay window that faces north and only gets sun in the late afternoon. Nice photo!
