Nature

with a promise of what's to come...Christmas in July !!

No longer known as Christmas Cactus here due to it's winter flowering, though many of us do celebrate Winter In July as an extra occasion. I don't like it's real name of Schlumbergera, much too weighty for this delicate little flower.

These we have had growing for over 30 years, they are both giving and forgiving.

My 10 year old Christmas Cactus died. I couldn't figure out what happened. Fortunately, I got a piece from it and now it has taken off into a new plant. Good close up here. V

We also enjoy growing this unfortunately named succulent. Here it flowers around Christmas.
